I don't necessarily disagree with the original article or this sentiment. However, I have a hard time reconciling telling your child to stick up for him or herself when bullied vs "send him to the cemetary" or "As soon as he turns around, hit him in the back of the head as hard as you can. If you’re much smaller, pick up a hard object and do it."
These are children and their judgement is not always the best. Do you really want to risk that your child kills another child by accident while following your advice?
Will your child know how far is far enough? Is there a chance he or she might over-react to a situation that is not truly threatening?
