I've read several articles on the subject of roughhousing, and there are a variety of opinions. Conservative parents or experts warn that kids will imitate the aggressive behavior with other kids causing potential injury. Well...I guess it's possible, but I've never seen my kids do it.

Action, adventure, comedy and Kung Fu - what more could a man want in a movie? I took my oldest daughter to see the movie Kung Fu Panda, and I've got to say it was one of the best kid movies I've seen in a long time.
