DS 4.5yrs is not 'into' anything toys-wise!

[3leaves]

DS is 4.5 and not really into anything toys wise, i.e. Ben10, transformers, star wars, power rangers etc. He doesn't really get exposure to any of this on TV so I guess this isn't surprising. A lot of his friends though are into these things and I'm worried that this will affect his ability to make friends at school when he starts in Sept. I'm really surprised that 3 and 4 year olds are into such things as Star Wars. Do they really understand what it's all about?! I have no objection to it at all btw. Maybe DS is just too immature, the thing he is most into is Mister Maker and he quite likes Lightning McQueen but has never sat through the entire film! How do other boys the same age compare?

my ds is 4.5 and into all of those things but he does watch a fair bit of TV and has friends a few years older than him that influence him. I wouldnt think it will stop him making friends my DD was never into anything and shes managed to make friends, if i was you i would enjoy not being attacked by lightsabers and attacked by a mini power ranger.
