Excellent. They are just letting him express himself, do the things he likes to do, etc. Two observations:
No other children in the film. It makes him look like a complete loner, which is unfortunate.
Swap boy for girl, "girl's clothes" for "boy's clothes", and "girl's things" for "boy's things", and you would not have a short film, just everyday life as lived by bazillions of perfectly normal girls. It's time society let boys out of their little box.

The child apperar to be happy well adjusted and with cool parents. I hope he is never forced by his peer group or others to change. Pity more kids cannot have the freedom he has to be himself.
