How to shop for Boys
However, boys should be allowed to play with traditionally 'girl toys' as well, in order to develop more sensitivity and be well rounded individuals when they grow up. There is no scientific data to support the myth that boys will be gay if they are allowed to play with 'girl toys' or dress up in their mother's clothes and wear some make-up. It's normal for children to play and test out a variety of roles.
Although many parents buy toy guns for their children, this is probably not a good choice. Children see a lot of violence on television and hear a lot of violence in music on the radio. Even if you shelter your children from such things, they will eventually see it as they go to school and make friends outside your home.
Some people believe that shopping for boys is easier than shopping for girls and that may be true. There is less of a choice in stores for boys, and many 'boy toys' are built more sturdy and last longer. Often boys will like toys such as guns or trucks, as they have been conditioned to by society.
