anonymrs definitely has the right idea. And I do think there is a difference between swords and guns, although I have to agree, didn’t we all have water guns as kids?
mchemtob, do you only allow your children to engage in intellectually stimulating activities? My son loves books, blocks, etc and he does not have a wild personality at all, but like any other boy, play fighting fascinates him as well. He has a very active imagination, which I actually attribute to his intellect, and I can’t see any real harm in letting him play with toy (foam, I might add) swords .
