[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have boys the same ages as yours and yes, I let them wrestle/playfight/tackle each other. Yes, it inevitably ends with someone getting hurt or upset. The thing is, I don't think I can stop it unless I keep them fully separated all the time. Boys this age (at least mine and their friends) are irresistibly drawn to physical play. The best I can do is set ground rules to make sure no one is truly injured in the process. [/quote] If one of them comes to you after and says: "So and so hit me after I said pause" or whatever, do you try to implement a consequence or anything? My approach has been that it's not something I want to get involved in, and if they don't like how these battles are going, they can stop participating. Not sure if that's the best way to handle though, and curious to hear what other parents do.[/quote]
