[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Pushing back is not self defense; it is an after the fact independent act of aggression. Giving a stiff arm to someone coming at you is self-defense.[/quote] Yes it is, as a kid you don't know that person is done being aggressive in the first place. I don't think you should assume or ask your kid to assume that either. Case in point the PP whose kid was hit in the face and then in the stomach! I agree you should say something as it's happening, loudly if needed, which will also get the attention of an adult. Hopefully the push back diffuses the situation instead of escalating it, which is when you definitely need to get an adult involved. [/quote]
