When mine were little... I admit we did a little rough housing. But they were only allowed to do it with US, not friends or siblings. And it was only allowed during a certain time or situation. And when we said wrestling was over, it was over.

We actually did a very minor family type wrestling. The kids giggled more than they rough housed. And it was never an issue.

But I really think either some kids don't understand here is a time and place for everything or they just aren't taught personal boundaries to go along with it maybe.

OP, IMHO. It's your job to protect the others and I see you are taking that seriously!!

I'd out the mom of the agressive child on notice and behavior probation for two weeks and work together to get a game plan.

Good luck!!
