Some of my fondest childhood memories include playing “cops & robbers” with my friends. That’s when one of us, chosen to be the Robber, flees. Once “caught”, the Robber might have to sit in jail for some time. At 6 or 7 years old, we had already absorbed these roles into our own way of interpreting the world. Just like puppies learn essential life lessons from their adorable wrestling sessions, we shape the way we see the world through our play as children.
