This is one of my biggest fears with my son who will be starting 1st grade. He is so sweet and I'm so overprotective of him. I've already had altercations with some woman who slammed a door in his face. She got my gum spit at her. With his Kindergarten bus driver who yelled at him 2 inches from his face on the top of is lungs.. I called him a f@#$%ng moron and told him if he yelled at my son again I'd have to kill him! My dh thinks since we moved out of NYC I need to go to anger management!
I'm not at all violent or confrontational but if you mess with my family it's over.
I don't want him to get bullied so what I did was sign him up for karate. They teach discipline, confidence and to only use your hands in an emergency. I'm glad he loves it and he actually just got promoted to a new belt last Saturday. I just feel I can't be with him all the time and he needs the tools to be able to defend himself if the need arises. I'm also learning it since I practice with him. This way if I need to open up a can of whoop a@# on anyone I'm prepared.
I'm sorry this happened to your beautiful daughter but hopefully that bully will leave her alone now. Good for Gus too!
Here's a picture of my son Vincent doing his "karate face"!
