Rough and Tumble Play!

There are lots of different ways for children to play, but one of the elements of play is rough and tumble – but what is it?  

We spoke about: 

• What is involved in rough and tumble play?  
• Respecting when your little one wants to stop and establishing rules / boundaries for when children are playing rough and tumble together and how to do this (perhaps have a word - possibly “Flamingo” or maybe even “sausages” 😉!!). Sharing these rules with others who might want to do rough and tumble play with your children. 
• Understanding their own bodies and their own limits (and recognising that rough and tumble isn’t for every child). 
• How this kind of play contributes to relationships and is a valuable learning opportunity. 
• When this kind of play can fit in well during your day and how it can help with emotions / get the ‘wiggles’ out. 
• Why wind down from Rough and tumble play is important. 
• Some ideas of what you can do for rough and tumble play.
