our society has a problem with discipline....
parents are afraid to parent thier children.... society places a dark cloud on discipline and children... a short time ago if a child acted up the whole nieghborhood wooped thier behind and then when they got home, they got some more... now it seems as if the kids run the show because parents know people are watching and they dont want to look bad... kids can act out however they want and people just have to deal with it becuase no one wants to raise a finger to em out of fear... people are so quick to call or yell child abuse when it isnt even close.... yet neglects a child being bludgeoned to death or ignores actual beating abuse or torture... priorities are jacked up... it seems to be all about impressing people and not raising quality human beings...
it shouldnt take a kid having to make the decision dozens of grownups there including the parents could have easily made... its the parents fault the child had to use the only tool he had to stop this kid and its the parents fault the other kid got kicked... if the grown ups did thier job the only kicking done would have been on the soccer ball
I think wresting would be a great choice...I wish I'd had the opportunity to do it when I was younger.I agree whole- heartedly on looking into getting him into anything dealing with grappling. Even wrestling is a good start, even though it's not considered a martial art by many. Just another thought.
You should be outraged about it. Your son should not have been punished in any way, and if it happens again, he should *NOT* be kicked off the team, Jerry should.The coach tells me that he understands it was self defense but my kid has to be kicked off of the team if it ever happens again.
Now I am feeling a lot of conflicting emotions about this.
two good things here in my opinion. One a good reaction from your son to defend himself. And, a lesson that there are consequences to our actions even if we are right (or feel we are). nothing bad happened here. Time to teach him the spiderman thing responsibilty and power....bla bla...but so true and important. make sure he knows he has nothing to prove, and teach him, explain the whole situation. Our children do not lack capacity...only teachers and teachings. trust him to understand and grow.
