[quote=Anonymous][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[b] my mother [/b](who stays with us each winter) [b]is not amused by our decision to let the kids play ball indoors.  [/b]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]
