Rough and tumble play - is it too much… or actually exactly what kids need?

In this episode, I’m responding to a question I get all the time:
“Is it okay that my kids are always wrestling?”

We unpack what rough and tumble play really is, why it matters for social development and how to support it safely - without shutting it down.
