Is this a normal kid thing or should I be concerned?
I have 2 kids. They are generally pretty close but i feel my son (7yo) isn't the best influence for my daughter (4yo). He's a good kid overall, but I feel he's negatively affecting my daughter's behavior, and she's getting all hyper and violent.
Today I caught them in the bathroom whispering to each other… so obviously I go check what’s up. They had filled the sink with water, put a bunch of random stuff in it (a toy car, a sock puppet and those tiny plastic animals??), and told me they were 'ki*****g their toys?!?!' on asking further he explained how when you drown things in water 'they d*e' so he wants to drown everythig and my daughter happily agreed splashing water everywhere. it seemed innocent but made me question a lot of things. Who even taught them the concept of 'ki*****g'??
I'm very conscious about their screentime and have tried my best not to expose them to violent things in any way. I know this came from my son, but he's so young himself that I don't want to blame him too.
I didn’t know whether to stop them or just… let them continue their play? Is this normal imagination stuff or do all kids do this? Should i keep my daughter away from my son, maybe till she grows up a bit?
