And in this case, to the aid of the so-called "military" toys - imitation of weapons and military equipment, soldiers and military robots of all kinds.

Psychologists have debated for years whether these toys, they do not make children overly aggressive. But little boys are playing at all times in wars and battles, exercising in this way to protect your family and your home. Sometimes, the games do not become too aggressive, intervention is required adults. Parents and teachers should be required to bring to the young warriors that the task of the men - to defend and not to attack first.

If the boy wonder embroider or play soft toys and dolls, it does not mean that he was not aware of his sexual identity - it means just what he likes to embroider or play with dolls. So do not prohibit such a little tomboy "girls'" games to shame them and impose their game with the children's arms or cars. However, if a boy is trying all the time to play games with their peers female roles, it is useful to show it to the psychologist: perhaps the child has some problems with sexual identity and self-acceptance.
