[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Gender doesn't matter, but size matters! DS is tiny for his age, and any person much bigger than him could do some damage.

How was it handled in class? They should both a apologized to each other.[/quote]

Gender and size don't matter. My daughter has been trained to fight, she's a small girl and she fights (and wins) against boys three times her size/weight.

The point is the OPs son didn't know how to resolve the situation verbally or by walking away so he hit. OP, do you practice conflict resolution with your child?[/quote]

OP again.  From what I understand happened (again this is coming from a 5 year old), the kids were lined up after lunch. The girl was behind him in line and had been bothering him on and off all day. At that point, in line, she started choking him (enough to leave red marks on his neck). He told her to stop, and tried to tell the teacher/assistant/whoever was watching the kids. I think it happened around lunch/recess so not the actual teacher. When he got out of line, whoever was supervising yelled at him to get back into line, so he did, and punched the girl instead.

Yes, I am going to discuss how he should handle this type of situation. Next time, he should go and tell the adult, even if it means getting out of line.

But still he shouldn't have hit her. I am just surprised he did. [/quote]
