Mike takes us on a deep dive into the uncomfortable feelings that princess play can evoke. Do we want girls to play out scenarios of waiting for a man to save them? Joey wonders if it's similar to gun play in that children are just playing out what they have learned about the "rules" of society. If we see problems, should we work for change in our adult world rather than put our expectations on children? Tom reminds us that princess play, like all play, offers valuable insight into children's thinking.
