I wish there were more about what kind of games could be developed, not just that they are needed.

Should a distinction be made between games of violence and games of pushing/shoving/tumbling?

Boys seem very physical. Is there a problem she doesn’t mention – that there is a taboo about touch. Maybe boys need more physical contact with each other and with adults than is allowed. It has often struck me that fighting is simply a means to make physical contact with other humans.
