What is rough and tumble play
Rough-and-tumble play is when children do things like climb over each other, wrestle, roll around and even pretend to fight.
Rough play is probably a basic human instinct that helps children develop many skills – but mostly children like this kind of play because it’s fun!
Children learn to understand their strength and the dynamics of their own bodies. It also pushes them to learn the boundaries of other children and how to set their own.
