Conflicts will arise when we support children's need to engage in rough and tumble play. Good news: these social conflicts create the conditions for a culture of consent and empathy! Tom and Joey make the pitch for adults to join in the play. Mike reminds us that somebody's gonna cry, and that's a chance to build trust. Ross emphasizes that negotiating consent is an essential life skill best learned early. This episode was adapted from a series of discussions about big body play originally recorded for the Natural Start Alliance annual conference.
