I couldn't believe my eyes seeing this advice to teach young boys to hit girls so as to restore the boys' self esteem and pride.

This is the kind of toxic belief that shouldn't be allowed to proliferate here and yet is embraced with open arms by other users.

That boys can only regain their pride and self esteem by hitting girls leads directly to more violence against women and girls.

And how does that look when another child is trying to hit them?

    Time outs, apologies, talking about treating others like you want to be treated, consistency and patience.

    I thought you were a parent? You don't know what teaching children conflict resolution looks like?

    You seem to be doging the point of the question. That's how you stop them hitting unprovoked, or bullying etc. What if it's the other way around? They are the victim of it, not the instigator.

    What if it’s the other way around? They are the victim of it, not the instigator.

    I certainly won't teach them to create a new victim out of some self-righteous sense of retributive justice.

    Neither would I. That's obviously stupid.

    However, you still didn't answer the core question. What would you teach them?

    I'm beginning to suspect you don't actually have a good answer. You just wanted something to be outraged at.
