[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When my DS was 9, he hit a girl. She had some serious issues and would poke and prod him in the lunch line. She did this to others. He asked her to stop and told a teacher. When she didn't stop, he whacked her. She has since left the school to be homeschooled. Good for him. [/quote]

That's awful. I would not want my DS to be friends with [i]your[/i] DS.[/quote]

Eh - I believe in hitting no one, but I also believe that ALL people need to know there are consequences for your actions AND I do not believe you should allow someone to poke, prod, or otherwise touch your body if you don't want them to.

I emphasize the three strikes rule with my kids: first you ask them to stop, second you tell a teacher, and the third time - you handle it.  I bet she didn't touch him again.

That's not how I teach my kids to handle their problems. What future do you see for your DS when this kind of rule lands him in jail?[/quote]

At 4 and 6 I am worried about teaching them how to set boundaries for themselves, and learning how not to be bullied and picked on.  I do not have violent children with behavior problems.  I do have children that will stand up for themselves without being aggressors.  I am fine with that. [/quote]

I'm sorry but we are discussing 13 year olds in the teen forum.

i still would never in a million years teach my kid to hit as a strategy, even at 4 and 6. Stupid thing to teach anyone. You are handicapping them.[/quote]
