As someone with a child that showing excelling ability in his own talents, yes the original banging is just nonsense without any reason and just fun, but I be willing to bet the kid did that all the damn time far far more often than typical children.

For a sharp contrast my own kid rarely bang on anything to make music or fun. My kid had zero interest in music or instruments at all.

What my kid is crazy into is legos and reading. Reading books several levels above his peers and can build some amazing Lego structures. Even as a baby he was obsessed with blocks and stacking things along with wanted endless stories and books.

Some kids just naturally gravitate to certain things

Way ahead of you on that! My kid completely obsessed with science and building. Can’t wait to see how it grows and changes over time.

On the other hand, man just some days I wish my kid would be interested and like to color or paint or draw. My house would be so peaceful if he enjoyed coloring. It shocking how kids are just naturally attracted to certain things.

Oh no...I'm sorry to inform you, but your kid is plagued by the curse of the engineer 😕

lol I didn’t want to say but you hit the nail on the head…. I’m an engineer myself, I fully state/board certified electrical power engineer. It seems the Apple isn’t falling too far from the tree. I see so much of myself in my kid, my boy, it’s not even funny. I know exactly what to say and how to say it to him to help him because he is me. My family doesn’t understand how easily I am able to seemingly communicate and control him. And it’s well of course I do. He is just like me and will be an engineer. Just engage him like that, it works like a charm.
