I am inclined to uphold what I consider to be very natural to boys -- a strong fighting spirit and interest in conflicts and weaponry -- rather than to suppress them. Only when we allow boys to grow naturally (with proper guidance of course) and to direct their forceful energy in the right way that we can expect to see them grow into men who are capable of protecting their families.<br /><br />Flamingo - thank you for your suggestion of using plywood or particle board to make a sturdier dagger. I'll have to look into that!Hweehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10895959128588945675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2847571046883368877.post-70771205150159250802011-10-26T03:08:37.941+01:002011-10-26T03:08:37.941+01:00A friend of mine with two girls told me that she h...A friend of mine with two girls told me that she hoped her next child was also a girl because boys turned everything into guns. I told her guns would be the least of her problems if she had a boy -- in our house (boys, aged 4 and 8), if it's long enough, it's a light saber, and if it's not long enough, it's a dagger. When you said you cut the dagger shape out of cardboard, my thought was that you need some plywood or particle board so it would really hold up. Boys rock!The Flamingohttp://frolickingflamingo.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2847571046883368877.post-75553342929489646772011-10-25T06:05:36.548+01:002011-10-25T06:05:36.548+01:00Classic boy crafts!
