[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To clarify, when he says something like "let's play guns!" to a friend or if he makes a shooting sound while holding out a stick and he's clearly pretending it's a gun, I get very upset with him and tell him to stop and not to suggest that game. I'm not actually forbidding him from saying the word gun like I would if he said a curse word. I'm just making it clear to not play that and don't suggest it. -OP[/quote] This is excessive and the fact that you are “very upset” about it is probably contributing to his continuing interest. We also don’t allow our kid to play with toy guns (he’s white, Black kids get shot doing it, so we don’t do it either) but we were matter of fact about it and it just doesn’t come up.[/quote]
