Is it normal for kids to jump from area to area of interest? 2 weeks ago my DS8 could not put down chemistry and element books, this week he can't put down the new dragon books he is reading, and a month ago he couldn't put down the newest game he was creating involving various Star Wars ships vs. the U.S. Navy (or something like that). I go a bit nutty trying to keep up with whatever is the idea du jour, and I worry about his semi-obsessiveness (which doesn't seem to last too long). He does often cycle back into areas of interest, to be honest, and many areas are of lasting interest - but I am not sure whether I should encourage the jumping, or encourage a deeper understanding, or just be amused by all the things his agile little brain is attracted to.
