I think as children we occupy a much more primal social space than that which we occupy as adults. As adults, the spaces of interactions we occupy are highly regulated by internalized models of behavior. (We let loose when we feel free of such bonds, thus extreme online behavior afforded by the mask of anonymity.)

Beyond Karate, the most important tool that one can impart to one's precious little child is that human groups are dynamic systems that require various poles -- the group (I believe) seeks these poles to organize itself. The underdog or gamma wolf is not an individual -- it is a required 'position' in the pack.
