[quote=Anonymous]I have a boy this age and the boys really are rough. I don't think the answer is to toughen up your kids but to have them become more confident about verbalizing when they are starting to become uncomfortable. I think it's important that your children be clear with their friends rather than have the rough play start and then have everyone leave in confusion and tears. I've been surprised at how smart DS and his friends are about which children can take the physical horsing around and which ones can't. DS will literally be roll around in a field wrestling with some of his friends but he knows that other friends don't like this type of play. Some have special needs. Some are just more sensitive. He is still friends with all of them. They just participate in different activities together. As a parent I personally like the kids who don't like rough play better! [/quote]
