Just curious to find out if anyone thinks their's teen's behaviour or outlook has been affected by playing with toy guns as a child?
My boys both played with toy guns, especially ds2. He was also very much into toy soldiers, and all things to do with the armed forces.
He's now 16 and has not followed through with that interest - hasn't wanted to join the army cadets or LARP groups for instance, and has no huge interest in guns or military history. He does play military games on the computer but is more into Minecraft.
He's been reasonably well behaved at school/sixth form - makes friends well, isn't in gangs, doesn't get into fights etc. I realise this is a lot of this is down to luck, but I can't see that playing with toy guns has had any affect on him tbh.
So, just wanted to see what other parents of teens think about this?
