OK I'll throw this one out there....

My son Rio, at the grand age of 4 got into a fight at school today.

He lost Sad Ended up with a bloody nose. He apparantly started it after him and 3 of his friends were playing power rangers. Rio threw a punch (airball) His more "street smart" friend who has had a scrap or two then walloped him.

Now to the question- I can't help feeling a bit proud of him! Is that stupid? Wrong? I mean at the end of the day violence is violence!

maybe it's just because I'm a woman, but no, being proud doesn't seem right.  I'd be devastated Sad

I don't quite understand why you'd be proud of it either 

But I do remember making daisy chains 
when I was 4 or 5, so I might not be the best judge of anything to do with fighting Cheesy

Agreed, however I would be more subtle and say teach him to defend himself as opposed to teach him to fight.

If you can, enrol him in a good martial arts or judo club, this should teach him the discipline and also discourages others picking on him when they know he's doing an organised art (whether he's any good or not) there will be others that will say it will encourage others to try it on with him but my experience tells me different.

It's important to encourage him to stand up for himself but not to pick fights. Also important to let him know there is no shame in losing now and again.........there's always someone bigger and better somewhere.

Never trust someone who has never been in a fight and got their arse kicked IMO.

Don't get me wrong. Words were had- the most important being don't pick a fight with the wrong person!

But agree with what Geo said-need to know he can defend himself but disappointed he started it.

Quite easy for me really, my sons are now 20(tomorrow) 23 and 26, I have the experience. I also taught self defence/arrest and restraint as a PTI during my time.

You wouldn't think it looking at me  - lol
