I wonder if acting it out might help it? Expression or something? Sometimes when Jet expresses his frustration with things, or at least KNOWS that we understand that he really doesn't want to do what we're doing, he'll be more okay with it.
Don't know if that has anything to do with what you're saying...
And Jet's play with this stuff really has a *playful* air about it. He does get more violent but also angrier when he's acting out of frustration or anger, but this morning he was giggling between "Help! Help! Help!"'s. So I could see worrying if he wasn't so darned happy about his pretend story. *grin*

I have a feeling it's an irrational fear, and I should just let her play as she wants.
See irrational, above. O:/
