The authors make a strong, evidence backed case that roughhousing is important, and the basics of consent and safety within reasonable bounds. I’m not sure that the illustrations or descriptions of what to do help, or what to do about the key problem that my boy’s endurance far outmatches mine for rough play. I was hoping for something that’d help wear him out, and leave me standing.
