[quote=Anonymous]My six year old is super imaginative and lives in a fantasy world much of the day where he is pretending that he’s either in or watching violent scenarios unfold: people attacking each other, bombs, etc. This is either using figures like legos or characters from say, Star Wars, or Just acting it out alone or with other kids. He’s been like this for as long as I can remember, but even worse — he fantasizes about being the bad guy and never the hero. He isn’t the most caring or empathetic kid and doesn’t have any close friends yet either so I’m getting concerned but am at a loss on what I can do. I would take away all his toys — which seems extreme and like it would fill him with shame —- but I obviously couldn’t stop his thoughts or his inclination to be the bad guy. I’ve tried so hard to instill empathy and caring in him but it just doesn’t seem like he is wired that way. He’s little now but if he is still like this as a teen I would be scared. [/quote]
