I know fighting is not the answer to anything and i do praise him for being such a good boy, but i do not want him to get picked on!! I am not always there to protect him and i just want him to know how to take up for his self!!

I do not think him just ignoring the bullies is the right thing to do!! Should he just let another kid hit him or take a toy etc and him do nothing!! That does not seem right to me!!

Your son probably has a high IQ. And I would just bet that he collects things or he reads a lot. He doesn't have time for foolishness. Some children are like that. It does not mean that he is a wimp, it just means that he has more important things to think about. If you feel that he might be harmed by other kids then a course in martial arts would be a good thing for him. It does not force him to change how he is naturally, but it will give him the confidence to defend himself should the occasion arise.

That all kids could do this! He's dealing with it in his own way. Can you talk to him and see how he feels?
But really, ignoring the wrong doers is a good thing!
Ah! You didn't say he was being hit! I'd book him into somethng like judo. It gives them confidence and as he is a calm child, he's not likely to turn into a bully, which so many kids who do martial arts, turn into.

A six year old boy who is passive, now, will probably be a very nice man who does not fight, when he gets older. Why should he need to 'take up for himself', when he has parent/s to take care of his safety as this age? I do not agree that fighting is a good thing in little guys or big men, either one. Be glad your son is passive, and not the play ground bully! fighting is NOT o.k., and your son is being a good boy, NOT to fight. Please, praise him for not fighting. You will be GLAD, later on.

I think most parents would be happy if their kids could ignore other kids who try to tease or hurt him. Let him know you want to talk about anything that bothers him. Also, get him involved in martial arts to build his self-confidence.

Ignoring bullies is the best thing he can do actually. Bullies pick on kids to get a reaction...after they don't get one, they will usually stop the bullying.
