Think about it this way: adults have been around for a while and have seen a lot of things, but kids are experiencing everything in the world for the first time! They are just beginning to see the multitude of possibilities the world has to offer them! Developing curiosities, passions, or little obsessions about new and exciting stimuli is all a part of growing up.It will really only be a problem when the obsessions become a cause for marked anxiety, mood or physical problems, or other behavioural issues in the child. If you notice those, I would suggest intervening then. Otherwise, allow these healthy discoveries and interests to grow!</blockquote>
