Does anytime else worry about children not being taught consent in play from a young age? I went to a soft play party recently, young primary age. My toddler was invited as well so I was in the play bit with them and seeing the “boisterous” boys playing was just worrying to me. There was a large group of boys constantly “play fighting” all looked stressed, getting hurt, wrestling, hitting each other, crying etc but seemed unable to stop or play any other way? I had to tell them to stop hurting each other, or tell them “he said STOP” multiple times. I have daughters and have always been so consistent in teaching stop means stop, or someone looking unsure means stop, but these boys had no concept of that at all, socially they seemed not to know how to play without the adrenaline of hurting each other. Is this common with young boys? Surely it’s down to how they are being socialised and not biological? I’m worried about the longer term impact of not understanding consent, and normalising hurting others and being hurt just as “being a boy”. I have two daughters so wondering if parents of boys think this is a thing?
