My son does this with dinosaurs, and I absolutely love it.
That's #parentinggoals right there.
Mine are doing it with Pokemon right now, but yeah, it's the same triggers and enthusiasm and I love seeing it and being there to share that with them (even if I never cared for Pokemon).
Their obsession changes with the years, but I have never really stopped them, whenever they want to share their enthusiasm, because my parents never gave me that and my god is it soul crushing to feel so misunderstood or downright ignored by the very first people who should at least fucking try!
Also given it's one of the big reason I never really communicate with my mum on anything, I'd rather not have the same situation happen to me when they grow up!
I adore exploring their interests with them. I also had extremely disinterested parents. Seeing my sons joy when I explore his passion with him is priceless.
