Why do so many child prodigies "burn out" and not do much with their adult life?

There are many children who are geniuses as kids, but they tend to have a tough teenage time and then wash out as adults. Worst case scenerio—the Unibomber was a washed out child prodigy. While there are successes, there seem to be many prodigies who don’t do well as adults. Any theories?
