How do you determine the difference between a strong interest and an obsession?  Kids tend to get very into their interests. Banty

Does your child have a hobby that he’s so into that it borders on obsession? Or an passionate interest in a subject that none of his friends care about? I’m writing an article for a national parenting magagzine on this subject and I’m looking for some children to serve as examples.  If your child has an unusual hobby or interest, please e-mail me off list. I also need quotes from kids about their hobbies (whether the hobby is unusual or not). If you don’t have anything to contribute now, but wouldn’t mind being on my "parent resource" list, please let me know.  I send out periodic requests for anecdotes and tips.  If a contribution is used, I do need to include the name and age of the child, and the city and state in which you live. Many thanks, Vicky Mlyniec
