12.01.2022 Love, love these points by The Mom Psychologist and I appreciate Maggie Dent's commentary as well: "For many boys - though not all - playing with guns and sword...s is common. I never bought mine guns and so they made them out of sticks, Lego and even toast. Swords - I bought plastic ones because I felt real sticks were more dangerous. One even slept with his plastic sword! There are some biological influences playing out here and as long as boys playing with 'weapons' learn about healthy boundaries - there is much to learn from this imaginative play. I explore this more thoroughly in my book Mothering our Boys. This phase does pass." UPDATE: Thought it would be good to share more of what Dr. Jazmine McCoy (The Mom Psychologist) wrote in her original posting of this. Also, please check out Dr. McCoy's IG page for more of her commentary and resources: I know seeing our children wield their play swords and point their pretend guns can be triggering. and look, I’m not saying to run out and purchase pretend weapons. I’m just inviting you to not always shut it down if/when it happens during play. As parents, we want our children to be loving and kind. Our worst fear is raising mean, violent social deviants, am I right? Our first instinct during these moments is often to shut it down and say "Play nicely with the toys!" as we nervously smile at other parents. But here's the thing - play = learning. Children use play to learn and explore deep human themes like right vs wrong, good vs evil, safety vs danger, power vs vulnerability. Play is children's vehicle for processing what they are exposed to. So yes, being around violence (via real life or through media) can influence children's play and lead to more aggression (through play or behavior) but pretend play that has aggressive undertones doesn't necessarily equate to more violence towards others. What's most important is to ask yourself, "Can my child play nicely with others? Do they get along with their peers?" If they're struggling with social interactions, then absolutely, they will need more support in learning social and coping skills. " Also, in a reply thread on one her posts, Dr. McCoy (who is a Black parent) acknowledged: "I am highly aware that Black and Brown children do not have the luxury of playing like this in public without risking their lives. As parents, establishing when/where this type of play is allowed and helping them understand why in developmentally appropriate ways is critical..."
