Ok I know violence isn't good but my kid had his first fight today in second grade and he kicked the other kids ass. Do I tell him good job for not taking no shit. (The other kid started it) Or do I tell him he is a jackass for fighting? They need to include a manual with these kid things...

you should be glad it's not the other way around -
Nick,
Depending on your child's after school and summer schedules .. You might want to consider martial arts for the little guy.
Not only will he learn how to deffend himself, but he'll learn when not to do it. Dicipline at it's finest.
Plus it's fun, and great exercise. Just a thought..Comment

Punish him, but forgive him like 10 mins into the punishment

I'd punish him, but not too much.
You want a kid thats willing to defend himself, but doesnt turn into the schoolground bully... at least I would.

Tell him now that he's whipped the kids ass to start taking shit from him for protection such as lunch money, etc.icq: 320340263Comment

It does but...I am thinking that second graders are gonna be second graders. I would expect him to retain some of the dicipline if he were slightly older but with all his classmates standing around and this other kid fucking with him, I think his "family brand" temper got the best of him. He isn't in a whole lot of trouble but I did let him know I approve of him standing up for himself but not by the means in which he took. Plus no Xbox for a week...Comment

Good planning on your part. A bored child is a dangerous one.Originally posted by NickPapageorgio

Maybe go over the whole thing with his instructor at Tae Kwon Do? See what his thoughts are? They're usually pretty good at dealing with stuff like this..Comment

One of the reasons I liked Bruce Lee movies is that he never started it. He never walked in and started punching anyone, he just tried to bring the girl out and then only started fighting when they decided to throw the first punch. So if there is a lesson here, it is that your son waited until their was no other choice. In that situation, Martial Arts doctrine dictates that he can apply enough force to give his combatent the feeling that he has made a mistake and should back down.Comment

Did he fuck the kid up or did he have enopugh control to defend himself and keep the otehr kid from hurting him.
Either way you should sit down and talk with him about it, make sure understands that defending himself is one thing, but taking it too far and injuring the other is not good.
Dont punish the child if all he did was defend himself.. you may turn the child into the kid he gets his lunch dumped on him daily or the kid who gets thrown in the gym butt nekked in front of the school.
In the end, if you feel he did right byhiself, then take him out to McDonalds and get him a sundae

Well he was defending himself but he didn't go to the extreme. He hit the kid and knocked him down but no blood or missing teef or anything. The kid he hit is an ass too lol...I hate to be like that but he is. Spoilt little shit...Comment

I find it funny that the first people trying to dispense parental advice have no kids of their own. Just like these authors of parenting books are often childless themselves.Originally posted by NickPapageorgio

Let him know that he can not always solve his problems with ass kicking and that if you go after someone you must be prepared for the other side, that you could get your ass kicked as well.
As long as he knows that he should try everything else posible before he lets thinks escalate then you have to hope he makes the right choices in the heat of a moment!SIG TOO BIG! Maximum 120x60 button and no more than 3 text lines of DEFAULT SIZE and COLOR. Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, then you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60.Comment

Ok...I guess I'm the only one on this board that feels this way, but I don't think you should tell him he did a good thing.
If you tell him that it was ok, because the other kid started it, then you're only promoting violence.
You should tell him that he shouldn't have hit the kid...explain that kids can be mean sometimes, but he should always go tell someone of authority what is going on. If you tell him that he shouldn't have hit the kid, then this behavior could continue.Comment

while I'm not a fan of violence, if he just runs and tattles everytime someone starts a fight, he's going to get his ass kicked harder the next time.
I've taught my oldest son to stand up for himself, but that doesn't always mean beating the shit out of the other kid. Sometimes talking can go a long ways. A kid that he nearly got into a fight with last year is now his best friend.
It's not always easy to teach your kid to be strong and stand up for themselves without resorting to violence.
While I wouldn't congradulate him on the victory, I would congradulate him on standing up for himself and explain why fighting isn't the answer.
If one of the GFY parental experts want to write that magical book, I'll buy the first copy...Comment

tell him that he was good doing it in self defense, but if you catch him starting any fights hes in deep shit.I host with VacaresComment

I guess I have to be super detailed here lol.
I didn't mean that if another second grader calls him a name or something to go tell someone...I mean if things are so bad that kids are swinging at each other, to tell someone.Comment

dont ground or yell at him for it... the other kid started it which means your kid isnt the trouble maker.. if your kid was starting shit then you give it to him, but being that he was protecting himself and stood up to the bully you pat him on the back and support him... if you ground him he will only be afraid to fight next time, and you dont want your kid to take a beating because he dont want to get grounded again... tell him even though fighting is bad and you do not approve of it, he did the right thing for not taking shit... just dont yell at him over it man, just think if you were in his shoes, the kid was picking on him, prolly threw the first punch and you tore him a new asshole... just my
