The Expression of Care in the Rough and Tumble Play of Boys.
Reed, Tom; Brown, Mac
Journal of Research in Childhood Education, v15 n1 p104-16 Fall-Win 2000
Videotaped rough and tumble play to examine how preadolescent boys expressed care and intimacy through such play. Found that, when commenting on videotapes, the boys were clear on where and when it was appropriate to express care and intimacy for one another. Findings suggest teachers and administrators reconsider the importance of this kind of play as expression of friendship. (JPB)
