Hi,
I have two boys age 10 and 5 and recently they've been engaging in play fighting a lot. The younger one learnt this at the park after school, whilst playing with the older children, they've never really done it before. I've noticed recently that both have been going too far, it gets to the point where my younger son starts getting angry. I spoke to his teacher this morning to ask if he'd been doing it at school, she said yes and he'd lost break time, for some reason she hadn't mentioned it to me, until I asked. He has no issues in the classroom, just too much rough play at play times. I tend to step in when I think things have gone to far between them at home and tell them if they continue, they will have to go in separate rooms, sometimes they continue, other times they don't.
Am I dealing with this too lightly?
