Seems like your grandson likes the way girl is. Perhaps he is in the critical period to determine whether he is going to behave like a guy or like a girl when he grows up. If you would like your grandson to become a man, you will need to start giving some differentiation between how a boy should be like and how a girl should be like. You can also get him to mix with boys. It is believed that the social surroundings can give a big impact on a person. In this case, your grandson. These boys will eventually lead him into being a man and not diverted.

dont force masculine sports on him he will be pushed away from that.....he still is young you never really know until he gets to about 10 years of age.....just wait it out.....then if not try and talk to him or something.....give him a father figure.....that might set him straight

This may be just a phase. Many kids - male and female - enjoy to dress up. If it is not, you need to accept him for who he is and what he choose to do.

Try sports, boys games. Make him rough a bit. Play soccer or football with him and take he for jogging. Sometimes sports can help him to change. If i were you, i will throw all his girl cloth and dolls. Slowly disappeared i mean.

How old is your grandson? Does he have any brothers?
