This Father’s Reaction to His Son’s Toy Choice is Empowering [VIDEO]

How would you feel if your son chose this? That's the question asked by Mikki Willis after his son chose to play with a princess doll rather than a more masculine toy. It all started with a birthday party, when the older son, Azai, received two of the exact same present. So they headed to the toy store to trade one of the duplicates for another toy.

When it’s revealed that Azai’s choice was a mermaid, dad isn’t shocked, he actually decides to completely support his son’s choice. I'm not sure how I'd react if my son Dylan chose a princess doll rather than a transformer toy from the toy store. Mikki says:

“Many are asking me, ‘how did you feel the moment Azai chose that doll?’ The honest answer is, it didn’t surprise me at all. Azai is equally fascinated by princesses and robots. One moment he’s all boy, the next he’s expressing a softer, more angelic side. For me this behavior rings more authentic than playing one note all the time."

Feel free to comment on what you would say to your child in a similar situation.
