My son who is in elementary school likes to embroider cross stitch, what should I do?

It is not a bad habit to like embroidery. It is true that children like to play, but everyone has different ways of playing. I don’t like playing with toy cars but like embroidery. I think this is relatively normal. I even think your son can be smarter and more dexterous than other peers who like to play with toy cars.

I think you can comply with your child's wishes and allow him to embroider without affecting his studies. You can even use embroidery as a reward to encourage your child to develop in a positive direction.

Of course, you first need to judge whether your son is a 30% enthusiastic about embroidery or whether he really loves embroidery. If it is a 30% enthusiastic about embroidery, then you should probably leave him alone. He will stop after a while. . And if he truly loves embroidery, then let him be. I don’t think you need to worry that embroidery will cause your son to become “feminine” and “unsociable”. Men account for a large part of the modern handicraft embroidery profession, and there are not many people who have any prejudice against these male embroiders. It can be seen that embroidery is not a "patent" for little girls.

If you want to encourage your child to develop in this area, you can go to some "embroidery workshops" or some "embroidery artists" near your home for systematic learning. Maybe embroidery will really become your son in the future. A "unique skill" and a "specialty" in the future. If your son has a certain talent in this area and has enough patience, it is very possible for your son to become an "embroidery master" in the future.

Finally, I suggest that you shift more attention to your son's studies and life. Most of his childhood hobbies will become unfamiliar when he grows up.
