[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anyone find it odd that the OP is worried about keeping their kid up to date on what is cool?  It literally hasn't crossed my mind that this is something to be concerned about.  [/quote]

Agree with you.

OP what does your kid like to do?[/quote]

+2... I have an only child boy who had very little exposure to the "popular" stuff before he started school. Didn't watch a lot of TV, and we bought him lots of legos, magnates, etc... very few "branded" toys. Somehow they learn the "cool" stuff, like by osmosis. DS had never seen Paw Patrol but I took him to a Paw Patrol birthday party and knew all the characters. Everyone was talking about Frozen when he was in preschool and I actually was a little proud of the fact that he didn't seem to care about it... then one day Let It Go was playing and he started belting it out. Enjoy the time now before he's influenced by what everyone else thinks/likes... it's much more fun to help him explore interests on his own and it'll be soon enough that he's begging you to play Minecraft (or Roblox or Fortnight or Beyblades or whatever), buy him a Nintendo Switch, or whatever.[/quote]
