My William is a seriously laid back kid, very tough to provoke. When he was 3, a kid in his class kept calling him a baby. William punched him. Was he provoked? Yep! Did the kid deserve it? yep! Did William get in trouble? yep!
Hitting is a last resort. William needed to find an adult and ask for help. He was sent home from school, he and I met with Miss Becky and Miss Leonora to discuss what happened. He also had some privileges revoked at home.
Next time the kid called him a baby, William yelled,"I AM NOT A BABY! STOP SAYING THAT!" he went and found his teacher. That kid didn't pick on my kid anymore.
William is VERY small for his age, he just is. At age 3, he still had some speech issues, which are very typical, but could easily be construed as "baby talk." This kid obviously decided my kid was a target. When he realized people were watching, he backed off.
