--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

HI all,
I just joined the list. Well what I do when really playing imaginative
games with my sons is of course 'imitate them' but also I let them know
I remain a girl/female and although I'll play with them it'll be as me.
For example: They are building a pile of toy roads and plastic figures
and toy cars. Fav thing is to crash it all at the end. (I tease them about
this being their 'guy way' of ending their games.) So I take 2 cars
and have them talk to each other. My way of being slightly female yet
playing with them. And I have one special toy car which is a glittery
limo-with pink sparkles. Told em it was MY car. I call it the "cha cha cha"
car. The cha-cha-cha car is driven by me and it's a girl. So play around
with that. Of course it chases after their cars, drives on their roads, and
then the cha-cha-cha car parks it for the day as they blast up their
game by it all crashing.
Or sometimes I'll put on a fake 'guy voice' and pretend to be one.
They laugh their heads off at this. Or I'll take stuffed animals and make
them talk...all about boys stuff, etc. Basically this is taking my knowledge of dolls (my own childhood) and adapting it to boy-friendly
ways. And at the same time it encourages imagination and playfullness
and caring in my boys.
Never read about this in a book...just did it. The thing is you need
to balance your boy's natural male ways with nurturing, caring, and
helping them learn about girls. (In our case they didn't have cousins
who were girls...or aunts...to learn much other than from me, what females are about.) Remember we are educating our boys to be future
mates for girls/women and hopefully to respect and love women throughout their whole lives! We are playing a huge role-model in their
lives, including their playing (see, aren't we amazing!??)
Sincerely, R
