[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm so tired of this. Boys pretend fight. They like guns, swords, axes, grenade launchers, whatever. Sounds like you are fighting against it and have potentially made it worse. Forbidden fruit. Playing with toy guns has no relationship to actually using real guns for real violence[/quote] Thank you. I appreciate your perspective. But how then do you dissuade them from playing it at school, where it's clearly not allowed? -OP[/quote] The teachers will handle that it at school. My son is 9 and I've given up trying to forbid pretend gun fighting. But we do talk about it. We talk about how awful war is, and how in a real war, soldiers who kill other people are haunted by it and dont find it fun. Make believe of good vs evil is what kids have done for ever. We just don't want them to grow up to be school shooters, but playing with nerf guns is probably not even a contributing factor to something like that. [/quote]
