Is it normal for my 4 year old child to want to dress up as Spiderman all the time? And then he likes to climb on my car? See Picture...he also likes to go out in Public dressed up as Spiderman. Should I put a stop to this behavior?

There's an Alain Robert just waiting to clamber out of every 4 year old Cleveland child's heart! http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_wb8bAl1P-N0/SeyRvdcidtI/AAAAAAAAHG8/1JDUJ9uTKds/s400/alain_robert_the_french_spiderman.jpg

What do you expect when his crazy momma goes out in public dressed as Wonder Woman with her Lasso of Truth !!

Its normal. Spider Man will be history to your child one day, but it will always be memories for you. Just let him embrace who he thinks he is. Imagination is great for kids, it makes them be very creative adults.
-
That's a boy for you! Perfectly normal. Now, take lots of pictures you can smile at in the years to come. And blackmail him with, as well... :):):)
-
It's very normal, and healthy. Through play, children learn to be creative and cope with problems, which builds confidence. I wouldn't try to curb his imagination, but you could tell him that there are appropriate places for playing Spiderman, and that the top of your car isn't one of those places. Also, if you're embarrassed by his insistence on wearing a costume, then buy him a Spiderman t-shirt so he can wear that instead.

I think it is O.K we are kids just for a short time and if he enjoys being SPIDER MAN and saving the world it is good clean fun for him ,i would worry if he was 40 and running around in a SPIDER MAN SUIT...
-
I don't see the problem
-
Yes! Some kids have vivid imaginations. He'll grow out of it some day and it will be a fond memory. In the meantime, just enjoy it; he's adorable in his little mask!
-
I wouldn't stop it, and I wouldn't give it too much attention either. If he gets loads of attention for it, it is likely to hang on and on and on and on and on. I'm sure you are watching to make sure he doesn't attempt any daring/dangerous stunts. Other than that, it's normal for kids to want to be powerful and who is more powerful than Spiderman!
-
He's ok,he's 4.
-
you are dressed as wonder woman, well like mother like son i guess. nothing wrong, just cute
-
He'll grow out of it, or outgrow the costume.Fifty years ago, I wore my Daniel Boone coonskin cap everywhere. :-D +3 Baxta
-
yep, that's normal. I use to babysit kids who did that. I see girls all the time dresses up as Disney princesses. It's adorable
-
Hehe, he sounds like a pretty normal, imaginative young lad to me!
-
This is perfectly normal. He is just 4! How charming! Allow him to continue wearing his Spiderman suit. He will eventually wear it out or outgrow it. On with the show!
-
It's normal - but I would definitely put a stop to the Spiderman stuff - teach him about Batman instead.
-
It's normal. Let him have his fun while he can and enjoy every minute of it. He'll grow out of it eventually.
-
He's cool as hell. When I was four, my mom was too broke to get me a costume as nice as that. Me and my brother made capes outta bathroom towels and stole stuff from candy stores. We turned out ok. +3
-
That is so cute. He is only 4 so I would not worry. Now if he's a grown man and doing this daily then I would worry a bit... haha!
-
Play is essential to good development. It's normal, healthy, endearing and damned cute. It's also an indication he has a healthy imagination and is quite likely smart. Stop it? Heck no!
-
As odd as this behaviour seems, it seems to be perfectly normal at that age, and shows a good imagination, which could be helpful in later life. Don't stop it, it will go away on its own, probably in about a year or two.
-
He's a kid let his imagination run wild soon enough he will have kids a job and no imagination
-
Oops! I think you gave the wrong link. It's a hardware store ad. :-)
-
I would never advise stifling a child's imagination. At least he has a good role-model..many kids choose celebrities, athletes and people of lesser ilk to look up to. Won't be long before life tries to take most of his time to dream and pretend away..let him have his fun.
