My 3.7 year old boy loves dolls and 'girlie' things.

[gder]

He loves dolls and long hair. He loves princesses, especially Ariel. He starts school in September and is becoming more aware of what other children think about this.
We have not encouraged this but we have bought him dolls and I draw princesses for him.

Nothing wrong with him liking this IMO.

My DS3 is 3.4 and likes both boy and girl toys. He has had a pram and doll, picks pinks things without giving it a second thought and likes to dress in his cousins princess dresses.

and the problem is? there isnt one! my ds3 has always liked dolls and fairies and princesses, he is now 7 and in yr 2 and he still does, its not an issue at school, he also likes hotwheels cars and lego [shrug]

My DD likes pirates and dinosaurs amongst many other things and one of my DS's favourite toys is DD's sparkly pink fairy wand. Not sure why this is a problem? There is a boy at our local nursery who is huge for his age and very masculine looking and spends the entire day wearing a princess dress and fairy wings. His parents aren't worried and neither should you be. It's just fun and self expression!

What's the problem? Let him like what he wants, he's not doing any harm and its great for his creativity and imagination. If it really bothers you, why not get him some 'boy' dolls, like action man etc who can play with Ariel!!

Let him be himself.

If he has started to understand there are social pressures he will probably modify his behaviour in front of his friends.

But there is nothing wrong with him wanting to do any of those things, and when my ds (3.3) mentions liking something 'girly' I just reply as I would if he said something about tractors, for example. And if he puts on a tiara I tell him he looks pretty. I don't see anything wrong with it.

I agree with Sinical: Let him be himself.
