[quote=Anonymous]There was a boy at my son’s preschool who would form blocks into guns and point them at parents and other kids at school. The teachers tried to monitor it, but it’s impossible to control everything a kid does with toys (or even with his hands) at every moment in time. I don’t love gun play, but I also realize I can’t control how other kids behave. So I prioritize teaching my kids what is important. That guns are not toys and they can hurt people. I have heard my 4 y/o tell his school friend that guns aren’t nice and to stop (of course he’ll also wrestle his brother over a toy so he’s not completely docile). But overall, I want my kids to know guns aren’t toys and that if they see one that isn’t just a water gun or something like that, DO NOT touch it. Also, if they don’t like what someone is doing to/at them, they can say stop or no. [/quote]
