LISTENER E-MAIL: My Son Plays With Barbies

We recieved this e-mail from a listener looking for your opinion.

Dear Breakfast Club,

My little one just turned 5 years old. He's had lots of friends in pre-school, both boys and girls, but this year he has pretty much completely stopped playing with the boys and is only interested in playing with his little girl friends.

On top of that, one of the little girls recently left some of her Barbies over at our house and now he plays with them 24 hours a day and doesn't want to give them back. He even told his father that he wished Barbie's clothes were big enough to fit him!

I don't really know if this is a phase or if I should intervene or if I'm even supposed to care at all.

What do you think I should do? Should I discourage playing with girls and all their toys? Do I leave him alone? I'm open to any suggestions!

Thanks Breakfast Club, I love your show and look forward to hearing what your listener's have to say.
Barbara
