My son is four years old, clever, outspoken and independant. So, he is the typical 4 year old.
I had never allowed him to watch violent programming. He always sticks up for the underdog or when a kid is being picked on, it is not unusual for him to stick up for that child.
He is not violent. He is very energetic and is never without movement. Always busy.
Since last year, he has been 'acting' as though he is a soldier in an army or even on his own. One day he had turned the channels on TV and came across Highlander. His eyes got really wide when in the beginning he saw the guy with his sword. He wanted to keep watching but I shut it off.
His father bought him a plastic sword of his own to play with and he uses it with accuracy. He does a little ritual with the sword to before he goes out to play. He stands perfectly striaght with his chin raised. Takes the sword out from his side strap, with the opposite hand, and holds it in front of his face. His feet are locked into a certain position and his knees are slightly bent. When he is down with that, he moves his body to the side, left I think, and keeps the same position. He pivots.
He throws the sword to his friend like you'd see in the movies. I've even heard him, with sword raised, shouting "forward!" And then he comes inside and tells me that his friend just has no clue in how to use the sword the proper way and that he'll have to teach him.
He also mentions the numbers 60 40....or 640, 60 4. He uses them in a different combination. Earlier this week it was 1640, than 1646. It had been 60 and 40 for a while. I have looked up these numbers as dates and have not found much.
Help!
