[QUOTE="Star*, post: 490468, member: 4964"] That said /explained in more detail - there is a large difference to me between a propensity to violence after viewing say magazine articles with pictures of violence, crimes, strong insinuations to mean behavior and make believe. A certain amount of play therapy where a child pretends he's say - a knight and he's saving a princess; or there is a police officer and he's protecting a neighborhood - things like that in moderation I feel are healthy roll model emulating. What I have a problem with is children wanting to behave like non-postive roll models. Where they get their material to emulate is up to us to moderate. To me he sounds like a perfectly normal child pretending to ward off dragons in a large English field protecting his Mother, and helping her to safety. I think the magazine was perhaps only shock value and at his age - nothing more than an ugly picture. Sometimes with our life experiences we could give too much creedence to what goes into what children think/or feel about certain things. While it is an image that certainly is stored once seen? The rest of what he made his story about for the day is probably less than you are thinking it really is. GOod to be an alert and protective Mother for sure. Always vigilant. Always checking!
