You might also discuss your concerns with your grandson's parents, and encourage them to discuss the matter with his pediatrician and/or a family counselor. Below is some information about developmental milestones for children your grandson's age.

Thanks for asking!

Been there, our son has 2 sisters and is surrounded by girls most of the time. He relates well to them and is great at helping and nurturing others-girly qualities.  Sometimes helping the boy find guy stuff he enjoys and Most important a good male role model, like a grandpa, to do things with helps so much.  Sometimes it's just a phase, most of the time it's what we're all searching for-a way to belong and fit in.  Try Boy Scouts programs, Boys and Girls Club, Church youth activities.  Remember to tell him how much you love him and all his great qualities.  Our young man is responsible, goal oriented, hard worker, etc...What any girl would look for in a man!

i have a niece who said that at around that age and now she is inlove with being a girl and spending time with her friends talking about cute boys. it could be a phase my sister just let her express how she felt and didnt judge or say anthing to correct her just listened and let her feel comfortable to say what she felt. dont know if this helps but just thought i would share. i had a friend when i was a child and he never said that he wanted to be a girl but turned out that as an adult he likes men.
