My wife is a school principal and absolutely encourages rough and tumble play. She got rid of the policies such as no climbing trees, DEI etc. introduced more out door activities in conjunction with the lessons as well. It's been 5 years and sure some parents freaked and took Thier kids out in the first two years Some teachers left too but now the enrolments are up, the teachers replaced and the kids there are doing better than before. The teachers and parents who left were creating a culture of fear and anxiety and victimhood mentality in the kids.
@@RafeKelley easily. There is also I think the problem of the fallacy of the silver bullet. Because I've begun to see martial arts only works in a perfect tension between its two words. Otherwise we end up with bullshido or incomprehensible (meaningless) harm. Nonetheless I think the focus is about allowing yourself to shape and be shaped by another human being.

Excellent reminder!
Thank you
we need adult role models in the world of play. if we don't play how can we expect our kids too?
