My son is 3 and probably every other time I pick him up from the babysitters he tells me that another kid pushes him down and hits him with things. I really want to tell him to return the favor when the other kid does that but I don't want to teach him that fighting is the way to solve issues. My wife tells him to tell the kid to stop but we all know how well that works.
My son is by no means a wimp and is bigger than the other kid so it's not like it's a big kid picking on a smaller one. I want him to stand up to bullies but the last thing I want is for him to be a bully since he is bigger than most kids his age. So what I'm wondering is when is it ok to tell your kid to fight back against bullies?
