do you think that toys should be seperated into boys toys and girls toys? at nursery children are allowed to play with whatever they want but do you think it is ok( or not) for boys to play with dolls and prams?
 
Yes, I think it's fine for boys to play with dolls and prams or for girls to play with power rangers and cars.

Toys should not be segregated at home or at nursery.
 
I agree, toys are toys as far as children are concerned, and are not likely to encourage a boy to be effeminate for example, my kids play with whatever toys they want to play with, they also play school and family games where the 'daddy' isn't necessarily one of the boys, it is all harmless fun.
 
I dont think toys should be separated, children should be able to play with any toy and use their imagination, I was never allowed a train set because it was a boys toy, when my sons old enough guess what he's getting!

They should not be seperated in my opinion.......does it mean people who believe they should, also think adult men should not push prams and adult women should not drive cars?:rolleyes:
Jack has a doll's pushchair and 2 dolls.....i dont care what anyone thinks.

Kids will play with whatever is to hand. If infant boys play with dolls, prams or toy kitchens, then fine, its just play. I would have to say that I would not actually purchase the said items for a male child. Were you actually asking if we would purchase such things for a male ema ?
 
yeah, that as well. i bought him the doll and pram because he liked playing with them
 
I'm happy for Siobhan to play with anything from cars/bikes to dolls and prams. I will encourage her to play with anything and everything. We have woods at teh top of our street and I can't wait till I can put a rope swing up!

if she likes it fine, if not thats also fine. but she will be encouarged to try everything

I just wanted clarification for the subsequent posters. Perhaps those who have already posted might give their views as to whether they would actually purchase the items mentioned for a male child.
 
If my lads wanted toys I considered girly, or my girls decided they wanted a boy toy, I think I would probably make sure they wanted the item instead of something aimed at thier own gender, but if they wanted that item, they would have it. (I would probably batter my eldest son if he asked for a barbie, he is 26 lol)
