The World of Children – No.11. The evolution of play-fighting

We are cordially informed that our child wants to punch his father’s booby and take it away and put it on the wall. Just what is a parent to say. Last week he got his dad in a headlock; the result? His father could not move his head properly for a week. Of course this is all part of his play fighting but it is becoming apparent that we cannot compete with outside influences. Our 3 year old does not spend all day watching the T.V (as we are well aware that experts say that any longer than 3mins of viewing a day could be detrimental to a child’s development) but the watershed seems to be non-existent and so if we dare switch it on during the day there’s a good chance that we will find scenes of people getting their heads pummelled or people being chased by monsters. I fully expect to sustain further injuries as our son’s toddlerhood progresses.
