My daughter was deeply passionate about ancient Egypt at the age of 4, probably until she was about 8. She was fascinated by all of it, we collected every book on ancient Egypt we could find. We found a summer camp where they made mummies out of Barbie dolls (with made up curses and hieroglyphs and everything - it was awesome! But she showed her neighbor friend the doll mummy, who then had such bad nightmares her mom told me they couldn’t talk about Egypt anymore. But it was never scary for my kiddo, she just wanted to know everything about it.
My son is neurodiverse (I prefer that to neurodivergent—I feel like neurodivergent sounds more like “not normal” instead of different; like diverging from what is “should” be. Not that everyone needs to change how they say it, but I like it 😊.) and loves letters, numbers, and planets! Ask me about planets; what do you want to know? Haha!
My almost 4 YO is super hooked on Spiderman right now. So much so that her birthday party will be Spidey themed!
Cool! Do you have the Marvel Beginnings books

That's soooo cool!
My kiddo is into space and dinosaurs like many kids. Also size comparisons, so we have multiple books about that.
Size comparisons are really cool
Love this post! Special interests are such a strong connecting point for ND kids (and adults!)

Ahh I like that too! Neurodivergent always makes me think of the Divergent series which feels strong and powerful to me. 😆
I’m not familiar with that; I’ll have to look it up! Strong and powerful is a great association!
