The needs for social interaction and "playground roughhousing" for children are proven in the animal world, where young lion - cubs playfight, then move on to pouncing on (and killing) small rodents, and eventually, larger prey.

Children who are too protected during their early years of physical development will undoubtedly find themselves unprepared for the social and physical conflicts and challenges of their adult years, and possibly even turn out to be antisocial and introverted deppressives.

I've always maintained that it's an ironic thing, that Man should be the most intelligent of all created things, yet at the same time, the most short-sighted of them all.

Animals, though less intelligent than us, kill to survive, and maintain nature's perfect balance; we, on the other hand, destroy every form of homeostasis known to us, and increasingly so, as we increase our intelligence, and the ability to create - higher intelligence, ironically, proves itself a highly destructive force, and we are sadly mules walking around with blinkers on our eyes, with no consideration beyond what we will eat today.
