So my son is a big kid. He 4 and 44 inches tall. There has been a few times where kids will come up and hit him or pull his hair. He doesn't really let it phase his. He never fights back at all at my just walks away or looks at the kids with a shocked face. I think he does it because he's bigger then them not necessarily by age but by maturity and height. Allot of the times it's his cousins as well. I and happy he doesn't fight them back and I tell him to tell the kids it's not nice and walk away. Other people think I should tell him to stick up for himself but I'm sorry he's 4. It's usually the parents fault for not watching or correcting the kids and fightings not going to help the situation. Just wondering who else agrees?

I agree with you. He shouldn't hit or fight back. I do think that you should talk to the parents or a teacher about the situation and make it clear that the other kids behavior is not okay. Hopefully that'll fix it

Same thing with my son he is almost 4 and is 45in tall and 45lbs and he's always been bigger then kids his age but there have been kids that r 6or 7that think he's older and have hit him and he cried and told me who did it. He wouldn't hit back before but I got tired of the parents that don't watch their kids and just laugh it off. So the other day we were at the park and a kid came up and pushes him down and called him a little *****. I'm like seriously oh hell no andy son got up looked at me and I told him u don't let him do that to u and my son grabbed him and told him if u touch me again I'm gonna hit u and ur not gonna like it. Sure enough the kid pushes him again and my son punched him in his face. So the kid brings hisom over and she's going on about my kid hitting her kid so I explained the situation and her son is 8 and told her my son is not even 4 but because of his size she didn't believe me. Well I told her she needs to watch her kid cause he is very rude. So she got mad and walked away and my son yells I told u u wouldn't like it if u touched me again. I don't want my son to be bullied or be a bully but he knoelws how to stick up for himself and I'm happy about that

I really think that's it. It's been different kids except for with my nephew. I think he thinks he's playing but my son not going to wrestle with him.
His one cousin the other night ran up and grabbed a toy out my son's hand so my son thought he was joking chuckled and grabbed it back. The kid starting hitting him. My son walked backwards and then them his aunt yelled at the kid and took him inside. The one time was at the park and this little boy was a bit younger than my son and out of no were hit his head and pulled his hair. I got up and and grabbed my son away and told him he needs to stay away from people who are mean but the mom just sat there. If he was older I feel like it would be different but idk. If it's an older kid he will wrestle around and stuff just not younger or shorter. It's weird.

I agree with the other ladies I think it's important that your son knows how to be the bigger person but also knows how to defend his self if need be. If this is something that's persistent and he keeps walking away that makes him a easy target to continue to be bullied.

[Mreeah]

Why do they hit him?
Because they know hes not going to do anything.
I understand taking the high rode, but if other children think its okay to hit other children then hows it going to be later in life? I am personally going to tell my daughter that if someone comes at her with the intent to harm then i want her to be able to defend herself.

I completely  Understand just dont let it get to a point where he starts getting badly bullied its okay to fight back for the right reasons

[showard022]

He always tells me at least and I have him walk away. That's what I'm worried about but don't want him to bully back you know.

I personally believe Its time for him to stick up for himself not nessesarily fight back but my son will be 4 in October and he tells first and fights back if it continues the first couple of times its okay to ignore and tell an adult but after that its time to show them that its not okay to bully him he's 4 so its not bullying yet but so on it will be and he needs to know how to defend himself
