text: what does that mean when a 6 years old boy wants to play only with dolls for 1year long?   i am a man of 58 and when my son was 4 5 or6 he would have loads of fun playing with his sisters dolls and other girlie toys, and he grew up to be a very masculine father of three. ironically! his second son wants to do the same thing , and i am sure that as children grow, they benifit from diversity, and as they grow they usually come away from it, i think kids are lucky to have parents who allow them to experience different avenues. they grow up with an attitude that allows them to seek out things in life, and to be a little bit wiser as they were allowed to grow with their own identity and individualism. and hopefully they will allow their kids to grow in the same way, instead of forcing our ideas on them.  don't worry!!  regards bill.
