The day either of my kids come home with this safe space, micro aggressions, trigger warning nonsense ..... If this happens we will have a direct and hard discussion about how the world works and about how we don't hide behind ridiculous notions so we can feel better about being weak.
So, serious question here brother.
Your kid comes home and tells you they're being bullied. You tell them "I don't want to hear that nonsense...go take care of it". So, they confront the bully and get their ass convincingly thumped because the bully is bigger, stronger and older. When your child comes home bruised and bloodied, what is your next piece of advice? Would you tell them that you don't want to hear their micro-aggression? Do you tell them to go back and continue to get thumped by the bully?
I'm seriously wanting to hear your response, because you've offered a lot of indirect advice on how parent's should handle it. So what happens when your parenting strategy doesn't work or creates a greater risk of harm for the kid?
