SueFinanceManager Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Saw this and made me think of some of the advice you would like to give your children if your weren't a responsible educational professional: When my son was being bullied it was sooooo hard not to tell him to hit the perpetrator with something really hard....like a chair Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SueFinanceManager Posted January 20, 2014 Author Share Posted January 20, 2014 Well my 19 year son still carries the scars on his face inflicted by the child in question...the same child that one day when I was walking out of the school with Tom and Emily who was only a toddler decided that it would be nice to spit at us....even as he stood with his mother who did NOTHING!!!!! Tell me you might have considered counselling him differently than turn the other cheek!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunnyday Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Absolutely Sue! My youngest son has a scar just by his left eye - this courtesy of a little girl when he was just four.........still bugs me - but we always told our boys "you must never, ever hit girls"........That makes it sound like we encouraged them to hit other boys (we didn't - honest!) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Froglet Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Love it! No children of my own but I know well the times you mean. Just wish I was quick enough to think of the devastating response when I needed it instead of hours later! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rea Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Well I used to tell my lads to hit 'em back. When they argued that they werent allowed to hit because they'd be in trouble, I told them to wait outside the school gate and then get them. They didnt (not then at least) in fact when Rich was in secondary, he used to use the school gym a lot. Never a big conversationalist he'd just nod at the lads in there, lift his weights and leave. He found out later that all the lads in there were scared of him because of the weights he could lift but he's always been a real softy, just quiet enough that no-one could get a measure of him. :1b 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
