It's like any weapon you give a child - if you give them a baseball bat, you're going to teach them the proper way to use it.

When I was younger, I wasn't necessarily the toughest kid on the block, and I remember that feeling of being scared (of getting bullied). It's a very real feeling and it's not a fun place to be in. I watch my son, Gavin, who's four-and-a-half, get more independent on the play ground, and there are skills I want him to have.
