Since we did not beat our son, he does not know what to do about
children who play rough, push or hit him. (I had the same problem).

I don't think you need to beat your son to teach him to stand up for
himself.

I would hope so, as well.


5 years old.

The boy who plays rough, probbaly does so because his parents beat him.

But rough play is not necessarily a positive trait.

Yep.


The standard solution in my home country was, if someone attacks you,
to hit back enough that the offender does not want to do it
anymore. It was kind of serious.

Well, self defense is permissible everywhere, I think.

There are all kinds of fine points about self defense that are hard to
grasp for 5 year olds.


I learned this by about 14 or so.

With the modern US life, this does not seem to be the right thing to
do, or maybe I am mistaken. I mean, I have to teach my son something,
how to react to this. Crying and whining does not seem like a
realistic long term solution etc.

I never went to a school here and do not know if kids have fistfights
etc.

Any ideas for a good conceptual framework here.

At my children's school, they are taught to stand up for themselves using
their words. It seems to work.

And what is it that is actually taught?
