Yeah. Children are nigh indestructible. When I was a kid, I fell like 20 feet from a tree, hitting a branch on my way down. I was fine. Kids actually have more muscle proportionate to their body mass and their smaller frames + higher metabolism gives them superhuman strength in comparison to their size.
Furthermore, children, especially boys, especially ADHD boys crave inclusion and the sense that they are helpful. Boys just want to do things, fix things, and show off how strong they are. If you wanted to really fuck up a boy, you'd shelter him.
Boys need the space to grow and a good father must be prepared to step back and let him succeed.
>Isn't this where you tell him to "toughen up"
No. But you cannot fight his battles. You teach him to be strong on his own.
>Are you too much of a cheapskate to pay a decent dojo
I am poor. My county is poor. The nearest Karate studio is literally in another state. Besides, most karate shops are fake. My father taught me to fence and to fight in a particular style.
But the fact is that kids really need to learn just a few basics: Arms up, strike at the bully's nose or mouth, aim to strike many times instead of just once, and arms don't bend backwards.
Boys gain confidence from knowing that they can defend themselves. Confidence is everything. I was already teaching him how to fence. Children deserve the full spectrum of combat training.
>It is extremely easy to take this sentence out of context and reinterpret it as some NAMBLA shit.
That's because you're fucked up by feminism. Don't you realize that it's weird how you think this way? Don't you think it's kind of odd how you think of sex whenever people are talking about children? That's not normal. You need to overcome this.
