[quote=Anonymous]My five year old loves Darth Vader and storm troopers. When I say, "but what about Luke Skywalker and the good guys?" he says Darth Vader is cool and that he likes the bad guys. Seems totally harmless to me. He also pretends to shoot things during play and pretends things are blowing up, as well. The shooting thing used to freak me out since I discourage gun play, but from talking to other moms of boys, this is totally normal and part of their development in play. OP--can you set up some group playdates and try to facilitate his social network a little? I never had to do this with my daughter because that just seems to come naturally with girls, but sometimes with boys it may take a little work on the parents' part to make those social connections and maybe from there he'll develop some closer relationships with his peers. The type of play your describing sounds totally normal though. [/quote]
