My 7-year-old daughter has a best friend, a boy year younger, they favourite game ''princess'', basically consist of her rides on him as on horsie. Actually it looks very fun and cute, I wouldn't worry too much about it, but sometimes I think she take him as her real horsie, like when sometimes I called them while they play this game,or when they decide to go to living-room, she just ride on him, instead of walking

Okay, Megan, why don't you put a stop to it? Tell her that this is not the way kids should play and she could hurt his back. Just don't allow it.

I don't see anything wrong with it at all. Most kids love playing this game.

At 6 or 7 sorry I have never seen kids that age doing it, perhaps it is more a culture game outside of the US areas I have lived.

I have seen it at 4 or 5 wanting to do that with a larger person.

Depending on weight and sizes, it could be harm to the "horse"

You know, kids don't really see appropriate times to play, and appropriate times to work. When kids are in the mode of playing, they just continue to play. If they both are having fun, and you are not trying to get them ready to go somewhere or something, just let them play.
