The risk of sticking your nose where it doesn't belong

[roydan]

Took my two girls (6 and 2) to the playground today.
At some point my older daughter came to me and said another kid had pushed her, so naturally I told her to push him back harder, and if he kept bothering her, she could punch him in the face.

I'm the first to preach non-violence, but if someone else starts, as far as I'm concerned she can kick their ass.

As I sent her back to play, another dad approached me to lecture about enabling violence and said I should teach my daughter to find a grown-up instead of hitting back.
I tried to dismiss him, but he kept going on about the risks of hitting back and that kids who hit back have a 60% chance of becoming violent adults.
I told him there's a higher risk in lecturing strangers about how to parent their kids. He seemed confused, so I explained: "If you don't leave me alone now and start minding your own kid, you have a 100% chance of getting punched in the face. But you're not allowed to hit me back, you have to find a grown-up".

Turns out he was the father of the kid who initially pushed my daughter.

The only thing that is worse than kids who aren't mine is their parents.

That is the right move, I teached my son to walk away, and if the kid continued kick him in the nuts the hardest you can .. worked very well.

I'd have given that person a lecture back.

Told both my kids to just walk away. As much as I'm sort of "pro violence" I just teach them to say to the person that's the first and last and back off.

If they continue to be the aggressive to them, then they hit back and keep hitting till either somone pulls them off or that person no longer a threat to them.

Don't care if it's a child or they an adult.

As much as I like to swagger and kick the shit out of people I just think now what's the point.

If I can beat somone up why bother.

That's what I'm trying to teach my two.

Let somone have 1 but it's the last one. If they continue then unleash, they asked for it end of the day.
