Teach your kid to hit below the belt. Â A good groin strike can negate any size advantage.

My daughter was dragging one of my bokken around the house by the time she was 3. I thought it was cute until she hit me on the instep with it.My children will be lethal with a blade by age 5.

well, the only fathering sites I know recomend wearing synthetics, so I couldn't possibly hang aroundWow, Styleforum does parenting too... One stop shopping for advice.
Nothing wrong with a little well-plotted revenge. When I was in 2nd grade, I got revenge on the class bully (who reveled in tormenting me) by growing some virulent cold/flu strain  (donated by my sister) in an agar dish and smearing said biological weapon all over the bully's stuff.  He was very very sick for the better part of a week.  I had threatened him ahead of time that I was going to put a curse on him through black magic and voodoo, so when he really did get violently ill, he became  convinced I was a dangerous person, and left me alone.  Martial arts aren't the only way to defend yourself.My children will be lethal with a blade by age 5. I'll also teach them how satisfying it is to hold the anger and pain of public insults inside, while plotting to get revenge far from the prying eyes of the adults. Daddy, daddy, little timmy "fell" down the well. (again) Sort of reminds me of my childhood.

F,Globetrotter, what was said to the 5 year old after this happened? Â It might have been good to help him and your son get through this by deconstructing the occurance.
When we were in Paris last week, our apartment was 50 yards from the Square Necker (it has a children's playground) and spent quite a few hours there with our 2 1/2 year old. Â I didn't hesitate to discipline a kid who wasn't mine. Â If I see a 3 year old throwing sand at an 18 month old's face, I will intervene if the parents are not watching. Â
When I was six or seven, a bully (a boy) tormented me for a few weeks. Â Finally, I snapped, although I was much smaller than he was. Â I began hitting and shouting in a rage. Â He ran away in tears and never bothered me again.
