[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, when people ask you what your kid's "thing" is, are you sure they're asking about something that's not, y'know, a normal kid interest? Most of the time, a normal parent conversation for the toddler/preschool set contains a discussion of what the kids are currently into, for the purposes of commiseration and perhaps future birthday gifting.

I mean, if you asked me what my not-quite-3 kid's "thing" is, I might very well tell you "Paw Patrol". And another parent would laugh and say their kid is totally obsessed with "Frozen" and they have now listened to the soundtrack fifty million times. And someone else will tell you that their potty-training kid is totally fascinated by poop and omg they are So Done. Thus go the conversations. It's totally not about how Larla is future Mark or Misty.[/quote]

LOL yes, if someone asked me what my 4 year old's thing is I would say Transformers. It wouldn't even occur to me that it was a question about talents. I think unless your kid is an actual prodigy beyond most gifted kids, you really can't tell at 3. [/quote]
