What do I do with him, I got him through an island event yet if I drag him to the table he runs off like a normal child to be curious about island items.

he will have normal 2yr old attitude -- once he turns 14 tho he will more than likely wander to the research table by himself --- children will occasionally also be born with certain abilities - you can also use children for healing when your villagers get ill- I've had 3 and 4 yr olds as Trainee Doctors before -- for me it keeps me from interrupting another villager from working if I use a child to heal

i just started a game on normal & my child is a 6yr old girl who the viliagers thought was diffrent & gave me a choice to try her on building or research & i chose research & now she is a master researcher @ age 6,that will help on the tech points when she is 14 in 8 yrs.maybe next time i'll try the builder.
