3-year-old son wants to be a princess


This has only been going on for a few weeks. During make-believe play he goes around saying he's the princess, mom is the prince and dad is the dragon. He only wants to be the princess. It's progressed to now him saying he wants to be the girl because only girls can be princesses.He doesn't rebel against boy clothes or ask to wear girl clothes or princess stuff. He's always liked traditional girl colors (pink, purple). Toys up to this age have been gender neutral and he's never asked for the girl version of something or rejected the boy version.My wife is freaking out a bit. To me it seems like he's having fun playing a role in this particular make-believe he's constructed and it doesn't have a bearing or deeper relevance to his identity. But perhaps that's wishful thinking on my part? via /r/Parenting http://ift.tt/2xzYlXR
