My feelings are that role playing is a very important part in raising children, especially in today's society. I have had children in my care that in fact have turned out to be gay and not just a little bit gay but full fledged and whole heartedly gay. Do I think what they played with had anything to do with it? Absolutely not! I called it when they were about 7 years old and even wrote it down. It is actually pretty easy to see and it is not about what the play with but more it their actions and how the carry and perceive themselves. Father's don't just become good father's in the wink of an eye and daughters don't just learn how to take care of their cars and learn how to use tools in a wink of an eye either. They have to learn by hands on and role playing. I have one parent who completely believes that boys should play with boy toys and girls should play with girls toys. I have had her children for going on 9 years now and I made if perfectly clear when she had her son 8 years ago that those rules don't apply in my home. She just shook her head.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02556643577270504074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3168105868068664985.post-690731341168633332013-09-05T10:38:39.024-07:002013-09-05T10:38:39.024-07:00I have 6 children and 3 step children.

All of my boys had a doll of some sort, played with stuffed animals of sorts. Whatever they wanted to play with they could, no matter what. My son's are true boys and my daughters are girly girls (even though they all played with each others toys). Makes no differnece to me or to them :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07472711330293612131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3168105868068664985.post-61869077027163921392013-09-05T08:12:12.169-07:002013-09-05T08:12:12.169-07:00I think kids are kids.

Ultimately nothing one can do will determine their preferences when it comes to love later in life. Love is Love.
