It's hard to tell your son not hit back. Words are more powerful. However, in light of other kids being around, just talking doesn't cut it and no one, boys especially, wants to look like a sissy so we all decide to take the ultimate revenge and hit back if someone hits us. Do unto others.... Definitely a carnivoreAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1484142014229407289.post-55857889313151787932009-12-01T09:15:33.206-05:002009-12-01T09:15:33.206-05:00Your son diversified.

He said that after he quit talking, the kid kept smacking him. He asked him to stop 3 times, and when the kid smacked him again, he punched him. It stopped. Well, it's certainly not the Boy Scout way, but in this case, we told him it was okay.<br /><br />It mystifies him that in the same circumstances at school, the other boy AND he would have been suspended. ANY contact is grounds for punishment.<br /><br />We've told him that if puts his hands on someone else at school in self defense or in defense of someone weaker who is being hit, we'll support him even if it means suspension. Sometimes doing the right thing carries unjust penalties, but you still gotta do them.<br /><br />He is definitely a carnivore.
