Came home Tuesday night after a few hours out of the house to find daddy and Jamie wrestling in the hallway.....
Raising Boys by Steve Biddulph 1998 (Finch Publishing) also discusses rough and tumble games. Steve Biddulph says; There's a unique father behaviour that has been observed all over the world. Dads (along with big brothers, uncles and others) love to wrestle and play rough and tumble games with little boys.
For a long time nobody understood why this was so - especially mothers, who are usually trying to calm things down while dads seem likely to stir them up all over again!
But its been found that what boys are learning in 'rough and tumble' is an essential lesson for all males; how to be able to have fun, get noisey, even get angry and, at the same time, know when to stop.
For a male, living with testosterone, this is vital. If you live in a male body, you have to learn how to drive it.
