Newsweek: The Games Boys Play

Article here.

Unexpected but needed saying; author advocates for allowing boys to play rough and tumble, cops and robbers, etc., and why it is better that they play at such things rather than live them out. Excerpt:

"Children, and particularly boys, are acutely sensitive to the violence around them. They play out violent themes to help relieve themselves of the natural fear and confusion they feel."
