I tell them that as long as an adult is around, then they tell the adult instead of hitting. Personal opinion: If there is no adult, then kids need to defend each other and themselves. Big brother may have kept little brother from being hassled later...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29833316.post-78538365744356325942007-09-22T17:23:00.000-05:002007-09-22T17:23:00.000-05:00Okay, I'm coming at this differently it seems. I h...Okay, I'm coming at this differently it seems. I have a younger brother (8 years actually), and when he was in second grade (so about 10, really) a teenage boy my age bullied him. Personally speaking, no one bothers my baby brother. No one. The Pope would get his butt kicked for it. He was about 4'7-4'8, fully muscular, but not very big if someone were to come after him. So I made the decision toJessiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08938350440588063211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29833316.post-11904872886057695512007-09-22T12:16:00.000-05:002007-09-22T12:16:00.000-05:00Teresa made some excellent points.

I recommend the following: Jeet Kun Do & Arnis.

Boys are much more physical than girls. (she hurt my feelings)Boys settle their differences that way, period.<BR/><BR/>As a parent it is my job to raise them to be responsible adults. Adults do not duke it out when they don't like something. We're raising adults, not children.

Basically they need to learn the following:<BR/><BR/>1- walk with confidence. Others do not assault those who walk confidently (fact of life) this will do your younger son a world of good. <BR/><BR/>2- when to fight. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
