In Bradley's case, it has mainly been hit and run away but as he gets taller, I think he will handle himself better. I think you need to handle this as calmly as possible and turn it into a learning tool about relationships and how to handle fights. I have got Dael to a stage where he is the one to stop fights because his mates know he can handle himself but he walks away from fights. I tell my boys that if they hit someone too hard they can damage the other child's eye or it is easy to hit out but it takes a man to walk away from conflict. This is just the beginning. Boys have got this stuff called testosterone which makes them competitive, aggressive and a lot of lovely things like that and each situation just has to be dealt with in a not too emotional way by parents and discussed fully. Always keep the communication lines open.BioniKathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14160435019367425283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4223673689545422634.post-74010309122914193152010-03-29T04:00:31.465+02:002010-03-29T04:00:31.465+02:00Hang in there, he'll be fine.
