My son is very big for his age. Where most 4 year olds are about 35-40 pounds and about 4.5 feet tall, my son is almost 90 pounds and 5.5 feet tall.. he's 4.. with a 4 year old mentality. Since I realized that he was bigger than other kids (around 2) I have been trying to be extra vigilant when it comes to him hitting other kids. He's very strong, and he's much bigger, and I've been putting emphasis on " You're much bigger than other boys and girls your age, and you have to be careful not to hit people, because you might hurt them " ... sort of along the lines of " With great power comes great responsibility thing. Well, my son gets picked on alot,and he takes it very well because that's what I've been teaching him. My husband ( who is also very tall ) doesn't like what I've been teaching our son. He was taught the same thing as a child, and he resented never being able to defend himself as a child because he was bigger.
Whose right?
