All children should be TAUGHT about what they are playing with; TV may aid in this training (good and bad). If children are playing with toy warships, they should be told (taught) what a warship is. If they are playing with toy warplanes, they should be told (taught) what a warplane is. If they are playing with toy guns, they should be told (taught) what a gun is. One thing a parent can bet on. If the parent does NOT obtain a toy gun for his child; the child WILL make (pretend) a toy gun from a Baseball bat, or other piece of wood; even a Golf club. During the 1950's and 1960's, children used to call it, "playing army." This was usually combined with green plastic "toy soldiers", sold by the bag.

∙ 15y agoBeing a parent IS A JOB! Teaching is PART OF THAT JOB! Children are students. Parents are teachers. Parents should learn about the toys that they are allowing their children to play with. The child might ask what the toy is, the parent is expected to supply the answer. The parent should research (study) the toy...to be prepared to explain (teach) the toy to their child. Knowledge about the particular toy WILL HELP the parent to decide whether or not it is suitable for their children. Warships, Tanks, Warplanes, Toy Soldiers, Toy Guns, etc. Know what they are, know what they did (in wars); toys can & will assist children in LEARNING history as they progress through school. If a parent chooses NOT to obtain toy guns, etc. for their children, they should be prepared for their children to "pretend" having toy guns, improvised from sticks, baseball bats, golf clubs, etc. During the 1950's & 1960's the boys on the block called it "playing army." The favorite TV show was "Combat!" starring Vic Morrow, or "Gallent Men" with Dick York, and of course "Gunsmoke" with James Arness. When Vietnam live coverage hit prime time news on a daily basis, parents tried to shut the television off when the kids came home from school, and discourage guns...but sticks and pieces of pipe became machineguns and rifles anyway...
