[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 53736"] Hmmm.....maybe the key is that they are fighting something bigger than them - evil stepmom, death, monsters - which could be symbolic for many things. In play they can overcome these things. I don't think it's unusual for it to occur on occasion, but as a daily activity it would give me pause. One thought, your kiddos, especially N, are too young to really understand the finality of death. To them death may be as equal as a monster or evil stepmom - big and bad, but can be overcome. Since redirection doesn't seem to be effective, maybe if you can direct the play so they overcome the "bad thing"...? [/QUOTE]
