It is a fun way to release pentup energy from "summary" of The Art of Roughhousing by Anthony T. DeBenedet, M.D,Lawrence J. Cohen, Ph.D.
When kids are bursting with energy, they need an outlet to let it all out. Roughhousing provides the perfect opportunity for them to release that pent-up energy in a fun and engaging way. Through playful physical activities like wrestling, jumping, and chasing, children can let loose and channel their excess energy into something productive. Instead of bouncing off the walls or getting into mischief, roughhousing allows kids to get their wiggles out in a controlled environment. It gives them a chance to be active, burn off steam, and engage in physical play that is both exciting and beneficial for their development. In this way, roughhousing serves as a release valve for children's boundless energy, helping them to feel more balanced and focused afterwards. By roughhousing with their children, parents can also benefit from this energy-releasing activity. It provides a way for them to connect with their kids, bond through play, and share in the joy of physical interaction. Parents can join in the roughhousing fun, letting go of their inhibitions and embracing the playful side of themselves. This shared experience can create lasting memories and strengthen the parent-child relationship. In the end, roughhousing is not just about burning off excess energy; it is about connection, joy, and growth. It offers a unique opportunity for children and parents to engage in physical play that is both stimulating and rewarding. So the next time your kids are bouncing off the walls, consider roughhousing as a fun and effective way to help them release their pent-up energy.
