Ds was playing after school with a friend. He kicked him nearly knocking him off the play structure so we immediately left for that behavior. In the car I asked him what happened to make him do that. He said his friend said "you're stupid" to someone and he thought he was talking about his sister. dS claims he told his friend that wasn't nice to say and friend pushed him in response. He hit back defending his sister.
I want to support him defending his sister when other kids say mean crap. However he tends to be overly protective; one time he pushed a kid for accidentally bumping into his sister. Based on the story and what I witnessed this kid was unlikely to be even talking about my dd. Obviously hitting is never ok no matter the circumstances but defending his sister (in the actual occasions someone says something bad about her) is something I want to encourage. I feel like he's taken the advice to look out for her to the extreme though.
How do you discipline/encourage simultaneously? This shit is hard.
Yea. I would do what she said. I mean, even if the kid DID call her stupid a kidney shots a bit extreme, lol.
Natalie almost knocked down a big ass kid once for bumping into G. Oops. Easy tiger
Also, him saying he "hit back to defend his sister" sounds like a convenient excuse, ya know? I mean, the kid pushed him not his sister. Sounds like something G would say
