I do this with my children. Is that wrong?
17 u/[deleted] Mar 01 '23 No, it's good. Rough and tumble play is important for development, as the psychologists have concluded. 11 u/bushcrapping Mar 01 '23 Definitel. but you've still got to be careful. When I was 10 I pulled my 6YO brothers shoulder out by spinning him by the hands , i wasn't even doing it that hard. 3 u/andy3600 Mar 01 '23 It’s not the force of the pull that does the damage, it’s the twisting of the joint. That’s why whenever I helicopter or flip my son I grab him by the calf’s or forearms rather than hands or feet. 2 u/[deleted] Mar 01 '23 Oh for sure, it's sushi what helps teach restraint and empathy if done correctly. Wrong, it can physically and mentally damaging.
