Boys thrive on physical activity and rough play from "summary" of Raising Boys, Third Edition by Steve Biddulph
Boys are wired differently from girls. They have more energy, are more physical, and often need to move around to learn and grow. This is why physical activity is so important for boys. It helps them release their pent-up energy, develop their muscles, and improve their coordination. Rough play is another way boys express themselves. It may seem aggressive to adults, but for boys, it is a natural form of communication and socialization. Through rough play, boys learn about boundaries, develop their physical skills, and build friendships. It also helps them understand their own strength and limitations. As boys grow and develop, physical activity and rough play become even more important. It helps them build confidence, improve their problem-solving skills, and develop resilience. Boys who engage in physical activities and rough play are more likely to be healthy, happy, and well-adjusted. They also tend to perform better academically and socially. Parents and caregivers play a crucial role in supporting boys' need for physical activity and rough play. They can provide opportunities for boys to engage in sports, outdoor activities, and rough play in a safe and supervised environment. By encouraging boys to be active and allowing them to play rough, parents can help them thrive and reach their full potential.
