By the way, the children hurting each other conclusion is not likely. We are born already possessing he framework for morality and moral decision making. Children even at 6 months understand that hurting others is wrong and that the one doing the hurting is in the wrong and also understand the need to ounsih that person. This happens in part because we simulate the emotions of others in our brains to understand them and understand intentionality of others (the brains mirror neurons) and on part because we understand that we don't like to be hurt, and then do not hurt others. In fact,, we simulate the feelings in others to such an extent that if you were to watch me stabbing my hand, the exact same areas of your brain would be firing and active, perfectly mirroring what is happening in my brai, the only difference is that you have a system that checks your hand to see if it's being stabbed (news nerves) and then cancels out a potential pain signal - leaving you totally unaware that your are sharing the experience at all
Babies also come pre-wired to seek out helpful parents/adults and bond with them. Watching parents laugh as two children her each other would more likely cause a great deal of confusion and cause the child to try to get away from those adults.
(I'd be more detailed but I'm eating and typing on my phone)
