The development of the child in Story of Seasons: A Wonderful Life is influenced by their major interests and abilities. There are six possible paths their development can take, and these interests may vary depending on the parents. It's worth noting that interests can also change as the child grows older.

Parenting in Story of Seasons: A Wonderful Life
By the start of Year Two, the child will suggest potential interests. Players can either agree with their child's suggestions or allow them to explore and discover their own interests. The spouse will also offer suggestions based on their own interests from the previous year. Players can choose to agree with these suggestions or let the child decide independently.
However, it's important to regularly interact with the child during Year Two to ensure their proper development. Neglecting to spend sufficient time with the child may result in a message indicating that they do not feel loved. Insufficient bonding time can have negative consequences, so it's crucial to monitor the bond with the child through the Resident Info tab in the menu.
Introducing the child to the villagers of Forgotten Valley can also influence their interests. Establishing good relationships with toddlers is easier compared to children, but providing them with toys expands their range of interests. Van's shop offers suitable gifts for the child in the game's second chapter, and Bulletin Board requests can also provide items for the child.
The child will appreciate receiving gifts that align with their interests. Choosing dialogue options that reflect their interests is an excellent way to strengthen the bond between the player and the child. Being kind to the child is important, but it is also essential to teach them the value of respect.
