Often it is the case, that parents are upset when they see their little boy dress in dress up in dresses in the "House" center of the classroom. The thought is almost that it is unnatural for men to like shiny clothing, or to want fancy dress or if they experiment with dresses while they are small that they will turn out one way or another. I'm always excited to see how the children play in the house area. I like that they experiment with various social situations. Small children are willing to risk it all to try out the roles they see in the world around them. It is only in dramatic play that a child can be the mother, a postman, a fireman and the dog all in one day. Putting on these roles allows a child to experiment with what they might like to be, how to get along with others, and learn about the type of person they want to be/are.
Besides, who could take this delight away from a child.
