it's a really tricky thing to navigate because you want your kid to defend themselves but then you don't want to endorse them being physical for every conflict. preschool is often the first time kids are interacting with other kids so there's gonna be a lot of this sort of thing happening. i haven't had this exact experience yet so i don't know how i will navigate it when it does happen.

I think I’m gonna teach my kid(s) never to throw the first strike but that they absolutely can and should hit back. I’ll prob put my daughter in self-defense classes

I tell my son to FIRST try to tell a teacher depending on the situation (like he is a lil black boy and a lil white girl kept pinching him...plz alert teacher don't retaliate) but he CAN hit BACK, not first.

Yes, you are trying to teach them not to escalate the violence, that often times its better to "lose" then be the winner and just be seriously injured or dead.

But I mean, I do believe there are times when you also need to have the courage to stand up for yourself. I think you just need to learn how to judge the situation. Gosh, its tricky though.

Like, I wouldn't want to encourage my child to fight back a bully, especially if they pulled out a weapon or knife, it's not worth it to me. sorry.

right, it's a lot to consider and can be difficult to fully convey to a young kid. i try to be consistent in what i tell my kid and what i show him with my own actions. at this point that's all i can do, he's 4 and just started pre-k.
