You should definitely encourage your Child's dinosaur obsession

 
MONTREAL - Oct. 4, 2019 - PRLog -- It's pretty safe to say that kids love dinosaurs. Most of you probably know someone who was obsessed with them as kid, if you weren't yourself.

These kids memorize countless scientific names of dozens, if not hundreds, of dinosaurs. They can tell you what these creatures looked like, what they ate, and where they lived. They may even fill you in on the difference between the Jurassic, and Cretaceous periods.

Scientists call this phenomenon of dinosaur fixation an "intense interest." Researchers don't know exactly what sparks these interests but almost a third of all children have one at some point, typically between the ages of 2 and 6. Typically with topics of obsession include cars, ships, planes, animals, and dinosaurs.

These intense-interests serve as a big confidence booster for children and particularly beneficial for cognitive development. They help children develop increased knowledge, a better attention span, and deeper information-processing skills.

It is also believed that force negates, and that these intense interests have to happen on their own. You can make information accessible to them in various forms, to let their creativity and imagination spark in their own way.

Overall, it is believed that this phenomenon helps make better learners and smarter kids.

This Canadian startup company offers a set of dinosaur-themed playing cards that also comes with an app with information about each creature, and gives suggestions for card games. The cards are available in classic material, as well as a premium metal version here:
