In Chapter One, your child can barely talk, and he's about 3 years old. You cannot give him gifts, or feed him. But what you can do is snuggle him, throw him in the air, or give him a friendly pat on the back. This is the best time to influence your son with interests by making him befriend certain people.

 

Your son can be interested in music, art, farming, plants and excersise. To make him interested in music, bring him to Gustafa alot. For art, make him hang around Cody. Farming is from your influence on him and plants are from Vesta. Wally is best for making him interested in excersise. When your son reaches chapter six, he will decide for sure what he likes best.

 

Depending on who you marry, your son already has default interests. If you marry Nami, he will be shy and like adventure. If Muffy is your wife, he will like fashion... (go figure.) And if you marry Celia, he will like plants and farming.

 

Key items are in chapter 3 that will help you see what he likes so far. Things like art paintings/insturments will mean he likes Gustafa and music. Metal sheets are from Cody and fireworks are from Kassey. Also, weights and sandbags will mean he likes excersise. If plants are found in his room, well, that's self expanitory.
