well hes young. doesnt mean anything. you just need to let him like what he likes. my cousin (a guy) used to LOVE barbies and doll houses when he was younger. but now hes totally out of that and is into all guy stuff. so dont worry about it.. just let him be! hes still young

Dude, he´s five, he´ll have no idea about sexuality at that age. He´ll grow out of it in time but for now it´s best to just let him be.

He’s only 5! My nephew is 5 also and likes Hannah Montana because my nieces like her! Relax! Give the kid a break!

If you tell him it’s wrong you will make him feel there is something wrong with him.
Just leave him alone. He is an innocent little child expressing his likes. What is your problem with that? The question is why are you so insecure that you find your your brother to be an embarrassment to you. If any of your friends says something critical about your brother you should stick up for him.

Exactly.

So he likes girl things.. is that going to end the world? He is not the first and won’t be the last. What is more important to you, that you love your little bro, or that you want to force him into being someone he is not?

you just need to let him be himself you know

so he might be abit femanine but you need to make sure he can talk to you and trust you whenever he wants to talk to someone

because he might not know about what gay is when he discovers it he might feel like he is gay.

just let him be a kid no pushing him into things

Children don’t understand that things have genders attached to them. They like what they like just because it appeals to them. He won’t realise (and shouldn’t have to) that he likes all the ‘girl’ things.

He will probably just grow up ‘normal’ in time.
Of course…he COULD always turn out to be transgendered..but that’s so incredibly unlikely, and even if he did, there’s nothing you can do to prevent it. So just sit back and let him play.
