So it is my first time babysitting and I am babysitting a little 6 year old girl. All I know about her is that she is talkative. What are some games you think we could play? Also if she can't sleep what should I do? I just need advice!
Answer
Well, ALL six-year-olds are talkative, so that is normal. She will probably be a little shy at first, don't take it personal. For fun? Try hide-and-seek, or a board game, or watch a movie together.
Ask her mother what her normal bedtime routine is and try to get her to bed as close to that as possible. Let her take a warm bubble bath, that will help her relax. Read her a story. If she has a favorite toy she normally sleeps with make sure she has it. Make sure her night-light is on.

What can I do about my 6 year old son that wants to play with girl toys?

My 6 year old son has a room full of cars, superhero action figures, video games, etc., but he would choose to play with a doll or a girly looking stuffed animal over all of his boy toys. Most of my friends have girls so he has grown up playing with more girls than boys. Now that he is in a school setting, I thought he would have the opportunity to be exposed to more boys, but he still chooses to play with girls. When he gets to pick out a toy at the store, I have to steer him away from the girly action figures because those are his first choice. He has recently started talking about how pretty different girl dolls are so I am hoping he is just girl crazy?? Please help!
Answer
Well, I can see why your torn.
On one hand...He's just a kid. So why not let him play with whatever he wants?
On the other...If he says he likes to play with barbies ... or dolls at school he is likely to be teased for it. And theres always the underlying thought he might end up gay. Not that its completly bad (before I get shunned for saying it)..but its true, most parents don't want their children to be gay, even if they except it later.
If it were me, I would sit down with him and ask him why he likes the girl toys. And I would label them. If its pink, and girly call it a girl toy. Then if he still feels comfortable playing with them, and can say I like to play with girl toys and I don't care what other people think. Then...support him. Its his life.
