Excellent! (Score 1)

When I was about six or seven, I used to love reading Richard Scarry books, especially the ones about how things work. I loved taking things to bits and putting them back together -- or at least trying to! I always hope that when I have children, they'll be interested in those kinds of things too, so I can build them the cool robots I just learned about in class today! ;-)

Just wondering, in the experience of the parents (or researchers) among us, to what extent are children's interests affected by the interests of their parents?
