He was an adult and I taught him to defend himself and his mother. I am a
firm believer in self-defense, even as a pacifist, no matter who is hitting you and your loved one(s).

Violence is not the only way to be a bully. I do hope this is not the way you "discuss" right and wrong with your son.

I find it very humorous how you read tone into my text, lol!
I do not steal his toys, I only keep him from playing with them until the next day, and that is a last resort... usually we use a time-out until he is calm and our conversations are very loving.
He does not wish to do wrong, we have instilled a desire to do the right thing for the right reasons... not a fear of being hit or embarrassed in public.
