Son not interested!!

Hi All,

Another question for the community of pprune..

My 5yr old son is showing zilch interest in things aeronautical , and I must admit I feel slightly dissapointed. I mean, how can PowerRangers be more interesting???

I haven't pushed it all, apart from pointing out airliners in/out of Heathrow as they pass over and asking him if wants "to drive an aeroplane when he's grown-up" (the answer was no of course...train "captain" is the job to have of course)...

I know its early days, but at 5 I had a very strong interest, as perhaps many pilots did.

Should I take hm up? perhaps look for that spark of interest and carefully kindle it?? If so how? My approach at the moment is leave well alone and if he becomes interested then I know its for the right reasons....

Has anyone else been here?!

Anyway back to yet another game of football in the garden.....England V Italy we are today apparently....

Cheers...
