My children have loved dinosaurs since they were young, and there is no shortage of friends around them who like dinosaurs. There are many children who are obsessed with dinosaurs, and as long as conditions permit, they must buy "dinosaur element" items. At the same time, they like to collect a variety of dinosaur models and can talk about the names of dinosaurs.
Why are children so obsessed with dinosaurs?
Some parents may not understand why their children are so fascinated by dinosaurs, but in the eyes of children, dinosaurs are not only powerful, but also mysterious and powerful. On the whole, there are several main reasons why children like dinosaurs:
1. It has its own mysterious color and stimulates children's imagination
Dinosaurs are unattainable for children, leaving us with only a few fossils that can be formed in the environment. Therefore, it has a certain mysterious color, giving the child the space to imagine.
There are many types of dinosaurs, and different species have different characteristics. For example, the ferocious Tyrannosaurus rex, the flying pterosaur, the spinosaur that can catch fish, and so on. Whether flying or running, or in the water, dinosaurs can be described as omnipotent.
According to the image of the dinosaur, the child can give full play to the imagination and stimulate the child's reverie of the dinosaur.
2. Desire for great power
Dinosaurs are a symbol of strength in the hearts of children, dinosaurs have a huge body size, have the ability to run at great speed, and have strong combat effectiveness. It can really be described as "heaven into the sea, omnipotent". For example, it has amazing strength, and it can squash a stone with one foot.
When the child's heart has the support of strength, the child will be braver, more confident and stronger.
Although children live under the protection of their parents, they also long for a stronger force to protect themselves and make themselves more secure.

Why are smart children obsessed with dinosaurs? Parents should understand the reasons as soon as possible
A joint study by Indiana University and the University of Wisconsin suggests that the more children like dinosaurs, the higher their intelligence levels may be.
In fact, the key reason why children who like dinosaurs are smarter is "strong interest."
When a child has a "strong interest" in dinosaurs, he will want to explore more mysteries about dinosaurs and popular science knowledge. In this process, the child's desire to explore and the enthusiasm for learning are enhanced, which is very helpful for the development of the child's intelligence.
