[quote=Anonymous]I would not a my child of any age roller skate on hardwood floors, because of the risk of damage to the floors and nearby objects. I would certainly allow it in an unfinshed basement as long as I didn't think the kid would hurt himself. We let our kids play floor hockey and nerf basketball upstairs, and after figuring out what a technique-driven sport soccer is, we have activively encouraged them to have a soccer ball at their feet throughout the house whenever they want. We also let them use our (plain, wooden) garage door as a soccer rebounder. I grew up with parents who were very strict about not allowing active play/roughousing of any kind inside. It would be an understatement to say that my mother (who stays with us each winter) is not amused by our decision to let the kids play ball indoors. I don't think that's why I let them do it, but I'm not self-aware enough to say for sure. Regardless, they are both now very skillful soccer players. [/quote]
