[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 122617, member: 1991"] If he's doing it constantly, I'd worry. But it IS showing he's capable of role-play and imagination games, even if it's more 'boy' stuff and hence more violent. Sorry to sound like I'm stereotyping the genders, but kids ARE different, there are gender differences. Talk to the therapist if you're worried, maybe tell him you don't like the violence, but think about it - kids' cartoons etc are stylised violence. We grew up with it too. On "Simpsons" they deal with it using itchy and Scratchy, but think back to our own childhood - Sylvester & Tweety, Roadrunner & Wile E Coyote - all were remarkably violent, but there was a sense of impermanence about it. You'd see a cartoon character hit on the head, be stunned, a lump would raise on their head, they'd be scratched and bruised - and the next frame they're off and running, without a mark on them. Barbie dolls in sexual bondage would be more of a concern. Marg [/QUOTE]
