Is there anything wrong with boys having a pretend kitchen?
I have two boys, 5 & 2. They both like to play pretend. We are redoing the playroom, getting rid of the baby toys and making it more big kid friendly. We sold the old toys so that my husband could build them some cool new things. So far he's built them a lego table, a workbench, and a fridge. He's going to also build a stove and sink. Whenever I tell a family member or friend about the kitchen part, they act like that is the weirdest thing. What is wrong with boys using a play kitchen? They like to pretend to cook, play restaurant, etc. Plus adult males usually need to know how to cook, right? They also have a male doll with clothes to put on it, some build-a-bears with clothes (mostly batman outfits and army outfits, but still), some bead necklaces in their make-believe bin, etc. So anyway, what is your opinion on boys having supposedly girl toys?
I'd love to hear the opinion of the person who gave everyone thumbs down. It's nice to get different perspectives on things.
There's nothing wrong with it at all. A lot of people think that if boys want to play with anything feminine, they must be gay, but that's just not true. It's good for your boys to play pretend like that, it helps prepare them for the real world. They need to be able to cook for themselves and such, there's nothing wrong with it. Just try not to pay attention to what anyone else thinks.
Kids that young usually don't have a gender identity yet either. My brother used to want to paint his nails and play with barbies and all that good stuff (though keep in mind he also had 2 older sisters) and he grew out of it and likes boy things now. There's nothing wrong with it.
The Choking Game also know as the Fainting Game, Space Monkey, Airplaning, Funky Chicken and a number of other names, is not a new game for kids. It is "played" by having either another person choke you around the neck or squeeze your midsection until you pass out or by doing it yourself with the aid of a belt, rope, necklace chain or scarf. This isn't a new game, it's been around for decades, but seems to be something that is mostly exclusive to teens.
Why would anyone do such a thing? Well, teens do it for a variety of reasons. Some are introduced to it in group situations and feel like they have to do it. Peer pressure plain and simple. Many teens learn the game at sleepovers, at scout, band, or sports camps, or from visiting relatives or siblings. Others do it because it looks cool, their friends did it or because they were curious. Some kids do it to momentarily escape their lives. They may even do it in the bathroom at school.
What do they get out of it? Here are some quotes from teens who've played the game. "I found myself jumping up and down against a wall waving my hands around and acting very silly. . . . .I thought it was the coolest thing. Another teen reports learning about the game when she was ten years old and a friend taught her how at a sleepover. "The tingling and blacking out was an addicted feeling." Then next day she played the game and fell off the bed face first breaking a tooth in half when she struck the floor. An 8th grader says it was "like taking a vacation and coming back all relaxed in just a few seconds." These children all stopped playing the game either because they saw someone who had difficulty coming too and got scared or because they were injured themselves.
Playing the game gives a teen a quick, free, high that can't be tested for. Many of them don't realize how dangerous it is. For them it's just a funny game. While they are blacked out they may twitch, sleepwalk, bounce into walls, or fall among other things. There are numerous videos on YouTube of kids playing the game. It's a horrifying sight for any parent.
What you'll need to look for is marks on their neck, they may also have bloodshot eyes and frequent headaches. It can cause permanent neurological damage. The CDC attributed 82 deaths to the since 1995 but there is no way to know if that number is accurate. At this time they say that teen boys are involved more than teen girls. But kids as young as six have been reported as playing the game, especially if they have older siblings.
Sit down with your teen tonight and ask them if they've ever known anyone who played the Choking Game. You may be shocked at the answers you get. I know I was.
