How can I get my son to stay in bed at bedtime? Just an update: ultimately this behavior went away as he got older. The advice in the accepted answer, however, was very helpful while the problem was going on. |

What are some milestones a child should reach before learning programming? Is this more of a StackOverflow type question? Maybe like this: stackoverflow.com/questions/3088/… |

What is a positive way to handle a boy who acts like a girl? Agree, but it seems to be overly emphasized here, where I think what should be most emphasized is that it IS too early to tell. |

What is a positive way to handle a boy who acts like a girl? Also I wish I could upvote this 3 times or more, to me it is 100% the correct answer as I observed the exact same thing. |

What is a positive way to handle a boy who acts like a girl? I think its too early to be saying "maybe he's gender confused... maybe he's gay" etc. The only one that seems reasonable is "maybe its a phase he'll grow out of." For some actual evidence (albeit anecdotal) see @Rory's answer. Like him, and the OP, my son went through the same phase at around that age (with no sister, but a very close girlfriend who he played with all the time and thought of as his sister). 2 years later he likes toy guns and trucks and star wars storm troopers. This is pretty normal. |

What is a positive way to handle a boy who acts like a girl? .. was it that you discovered later that you were different from the other boys, or that it was just a phase? In any case I think this question applied to an 8 or 9 year old is completely different from a 3 year old. This is quite normal at 3 and is no indication of future sexual orientation whatsoever. I think its just an indication that he spends lots of time with his sister, and he'll probably change is mind when he spends more time with other boys in preschool. |

What is a positive way to handle a boy who acts like a girl? +1 My son went through a very similar phase where pink was his fav color, and he was very into princesses. I think having an older sister is contributing to this some, and when your son goes to preschool he'll probably gravitate towards what other boys are most interested in. |
