Young children gravitate towards opportunities to engage in varied forms of play. Physical interactions during play while thoroughly enjoyable can be complex and difficult for adults to interpret, particularly when play appears to be aggressive. Often misinterpreted as aggression, rough and tumble play affords unique opportunities for the development of physical, social and cognitive competency.

Crank Wrestling is excited to offer 4-week programs to help parents recognize the difference between roughhousing and fighting. We will provide a safe environment for children to understand and develop safe and fun roughhousing skills.

A few of the many benefits of Roughhousing:

• To help young, ​hyperactive​ kids learn to inhibit their aggressive behaviour while play fighting. 

• Roughhousing makes kids more confident, promotes self-control, builds emotional intelligence, strengthens social skills, and allows for emotional release in a playful, intimate way. 

• Helps children manage big emotions and helps you coach your child through these feelings.

• Sedentary and introverted children can benefit from gaining more confidence in using his or her physical and relational strength.
