There are some good dino kids shows like Dino Dana and Andy’s Prehistoric Adventures that might be a little more age appropriate if you’re worried about scaring him. Dinosaur Train is also another good one. My son has always loved dinosaurs, too

In my experience, kids outgrow their obsessions eventually. There’s nothing unhealthy with it anyway, go with the flow and see where it takes him.

I can understand where you’re coming from as I would probably be a bit scared that something my child watches might scare or upset them.

However, it sounds like at this stage that he’s doing well and taking everything he’s seen in his stride. I’d let him continue with it and just be ready to answer any questions that might pop up.

I am sure all kids go thru a stage where they are obsessed with something…

Dinosaurs are great, is he still interested in them.

It’s great that he’s so interested in something, like dinosaurs.

I wouldn’t worry. A boy in our mother’s group many years ago was obsessed with wanting to blow things up and set fire to other people’s houses, his Christmas wish list to Santa consisted of things like a hand grenade and blow torch.

Encourage it you may have the next world famous paleontologist in your midst

just sounds like vevery other boy i wouldn’t worry

Completely harmless. My neighbours child has an obsession with rubbish bins.

I don’t think it is a problem but always good to try to incorporate other things too

i can’t see the harm

Hope you managed to find some ideas that have helped.

Its awesome to see a child be so amused by something!

Let him like dinosaurs, its better than like real guns

Of course you should encourage him – if it is what he likes that is great.

My boys are the same. Try the dinosaur train DVDs, my boys love it. They are also unfazed by those documentaries, I let them watch if not to bad.

My son also has the Dinosaur Train DVDs and the toys that go with it. they are a great product for this age group.

Buy some Dinosaur Train DVDs for him. Still teaches the names & habits of each species, but in a fun toddler cartoon. I wouldn’t let my boys watch dino docos if they had lots of eating. Some shows seem to focus more on being graphic rather than teaching anything about dinosaurs.

For some reason all my kids went through a dinosaur craze. I encouraged them and they learnt all of their name

Wanted to know aswell, thanks for posting.
