When people see a kid, or even adults, with collections of dinosaurs or has an intense interest in them, the parents of them should consider themselves blessed.

Kids who have a keen interest in dinosaurs have an enhanced intelligence.

Many of them also are very fond of movies featuring dinosaurs or fictional dinosaur monsters such as Godzilla, the dinosaurs of King Kong, the Rhedosaurus from The Beast From 20,000 Fathoms and others.

Kitchen Fun With My Three Sons has an article that says kids with an obsession for dinosaurs should be encouraged.

They wrote:

If your kiddo has a dinosaur obsession, you should be thrilled. Science calls this an “intense interest” and says it will drive a child’s learning as well as help foster lifelong curiosity. 

In fact, above-average intelligence is not unusual for kids who are enamored with dinosaurs, or any subject that generates a natural strong interest. 

The same thing goes for a focus on cars, trucks, trains, dolls, drawing, etc. If a child shows an incredible fondness in something, it can be a very good thing. 

In this post, I’m going to talk specifically talk about dinos because it’s such a popular interest among kids.
