Almost all the research has hit the same bottomline: irrespective of social conditioning, the type of play and 'image' children choose for themselves is based on testosterone levels.
There's a gender/sexuality spectrum, and we all have our place on it. The healthiest approach for parents is that which GL describes upthread. Allow them to experiment however they wish, and they will find their own path. You can't be prescriptive, and repeated/prolonged attempts to do so will either be preaching to the converted, or causing no end of psychological issues further down the line.
