Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Rough-and-tumble play is not merely an expression of aggression but a form of play that is important for the physical, social, and emotional development of children. It helps them learn boundaries, develop physical skills, and understand social cues. It is a common form of play among children across different cultures and is not specific to males or North Americans. Additionally, it tends to decrease rather than increase as children get older and gain more social and emotional control.
