Would you hit a Kid who hit Your kid?
Nah, but ild make my kid hit em back.
I have a soon to be 8 month old daughter, so im not to the point where i need to deal with that yet. But if a kid hits my kid, i wont haveta worry about it, because my daughter will know, HIT THEM BACK. but you guys below who say Tell the Parent. I have seen situations where my neices where hit and my sisters in law went and told the parent of the kid who hit my neices and the parent was basically like "well, she should have hit him/her back, i cant do anything about it" LMAO. So, If it is teaching my daughter violence, so Be it.. If sumone hits her, im going to tell her to punch them back as hard as she can... and I'll deal with their parent(s)

Hitting and disciplining are two different things. And if done sparingly and as a form of discipline, children do NOT associate spanking as hitting. I was spanked once in a great while, as a child, NEVER did I associate my fathers discipline with hitting others or being a bully. And at 5'10 and able to bench 250lbs in high school, I could have wiped the floor with just about anyone I felt like. You may have some very bad examples that you are drawing from your own childhood, but for parents who are responsible and want the best for their children can use this very effective form of discipline without crossing the line and causing anger issues with their children. *** Hitting in the face is not discipline and I really think that you may have been abused and therefore cannot associate the difference***

No! Short story. My older son was once picked on by a fellow classmate (class bully) in the 6th grade at a little league game. I was on the other side of the field when it happened. Before I could get to the spot of the incident my son retired the former champ. It was violent and very quick. The bully's father came to his kids rescue and was about to grab my son. I had a baseball bat in my hand. I said in a very calm voice that if he touched my son he would be wearing the baseball bat. He choose the better part of valor and walked away. Answer: I would have had no problem imprinting "Louisville Slugger" across the kids fathers forehead!!!

lol No, but if My Kid didn't hit them back, I don't want to hear any whining....
Tough love I guess, but I won't always be around them every second of the day so they need to either learn to tell the teacher and if that doen't work, haul off and knock em to the ground(if hit first).
If others see them "take it" it won't stop. I had to learn to tell people off and that normally works, so sometimes a "bark" is all you need. just make sure you're ready to back it up lol.

Honestly, I think it depends on what kind of parent you are and how you plan on raising your kid. My mom always told me and my siblings that if someone hit us, we should hit them back in the exact same place where they hit us. so, if we were to get in trouble for our actions; we would receive the same punishment that the other kid received. All in all, I would have told my kid to hit the kid back because it's not right for a parent to hit someone else's kid.

first of all i wanna know the reason ,why the another kid hit my kid ,may be my kid say something wrong to that kid,than after that if my kid did nothing wrong than i ask my kid to forget that thing and forgive him and after that i my self ask his parents to take extra care of there kid and find the solution of there kid anger and try to teach him a be a real person in this world.

No, that's mean but you should talk to their parents. Don't tell your kid to hit them back! That is a bad example/influence for your kid!

if it was my kid's fault i'd teach him a lesson.. like, ground him or something. No matter what, it doesn't matter whos kid it is, you can NEVER hit a child smaller than you. it will scar them for life...
if it was the other kid's fault, i'd wait it out and not do anything. if the other kid kept hassling my kid i'd probably just go up to him and say "hey, what's you're problem? you have feelings too! what if you were in my kid's place right now!!?"

I'd make my kid hit him back. And if the parent has something to say about it, then I guess we have a problem.

No way! Thats just asking for a lawsuit lol. I wouldn't make my kid hit them back either, no need to fight violence with more violence. I'd just call the kids parents and have them deal with them.
