I was a picked-on kid myself in my younger years. The guy who was the worst was in junior high, and every day for months he'd push me around and talk shit to me. I got fed up one day and decided to settle it right there, and when it was done it was him lying on the floor. The problem is that two days later, he brought two of his friends with him. Now, I was lucky, and managed to convince his friends that it wasn't worth the shit they'd catch to beat up some kid they didn't even know... and I dropped a hint that if they followed through with this I'd find them alone some time and pound them into a fine paste. So they took off, and the original guy was too cowardly to face me alone, so after that the problem went away.
Just be cautious of advising your kids to retaliation in this matter, because it can settle things, or it can raise the bar, and have the other little shits bringing along friends/weapons/etc.
