"Early childhood educators interested in books about physical play and interactions will find Embracing Rough-and-Tumble Play of special interest because it provides a step-by-step guide to encouraging safe physical interactions and movements based on boisterous activities. There are many early childhood books about play, but this book's focus on active engagement processes is directed to teachers and parents who would encourage rough-and-tumble activities. From visually tracking thrown objects to establishing rules to guidelines, this is an excellent survey highly recommended for any adult interested in physical activities for early education."

Embracing Rough-and-Tumble Play
Mike Huber shares his commitment to allowing space for physical movement in early childhood classrooms. With the insight that comes from years of teaching, Huber argues convincingly that children need to move more often than is generally allowed, and when teachers and caregivers respect that need, children benefit socially and cognitively. Huber tackles thorny issues while offering straightforward, useful advice. Chock-full of specific recommendations, real classroom examples, and enticing color photos, this guide makes active classroom play hard to resist.

In this must-read book for all those who have young children in their lives, Mike uses an authentic voice that will resonate with those who reflect honestly on their teaching/parenting practice. He communicates his passion and his concerns for children in such an appealing way, and is equally supportive of girls’ and boys’ need for rough and tumble play. Teachers and parents may think they understand this topic, but Mike brings out aspects of this play that take the reader way beyond ‘the children are getting their energy out.’ Mike describes not just the fun of children tumbling about, but shows us all the ways that young bodies need to move and why.

If you love teaching young children, you will love this book! Mr. Huber gives us the exciting opportunity to see play from the child’s perspective.
Embracing Rough-and-Tumble Play
is full of tools to help teachers take risks in their teaching; necessary for supporting children in building the relationship between their minds and bodies in boisterous ways.

Mike takes a courageous stance in his book
Embracing Rough-and-Tumble Play
. Not only does he make a case for the necessity of rough-and-tumble play—“You need to let them play rough if you want them to fight less”—but he contends children learn best when there is constant movement throughout the day in all parts of the classroom. Mike offers many insights on how to make that happen. Through research and numerous discussions with parents and other professionals on this subject, Mike is able to clearly explain his transformation from a teacher who constantly tried to keep a lid on boisterous activity to a teacher who values its many benefits. The question is: Are you courageous enough to read it?

Mike Huber has taken my book Big Body Play and expanded it with a plethora of ideas and suggestions for how to best incorporate this valuable and undervalued play style. His book will become a staple in both new and veteran teachers’ resource collection. Thank you, Mike!

Mike is so right when he states that “mistrust of movement” has resulted in policies and practices that are contrary to the needs of young children. Mike’s book will help teachers and parents feel more comfortable with the physical nature of the children in their care and guide them in encouraging kids to do what comes naturally to them.
