This idea of roughhousing as body awareness also gives me deeper appreciation for what the children are doing when they are playing rough. Children learn to decode nonverbal cues and develop and maintain friendships and even take care of one another when they roughhouse (Carlson 2011a; Carlson 2011b). Children are simultaneously developing body awareness and control of the expression of their emotions.
