Is It Okay to Fight? Raising Children with Integrity and a Fighting Spirit | Episode 506

from Parenting Matters Now with Dr. Roger Smith · host Dr. Roger Smith

Is "fighting" always a failure of discipline, or is it a necessary life skill? Dr. Roger Smith explores the nuance between innate aggression and a value-based fighting spirit. While the rule of thumb is always to "use words," this episode dives into why children must also be equipped with the capacity to defend what matters most. From martial arts training to deep conversations about integrity, learn how to teach your child the balance between self-control and the courage to stand up for their values. Discover how to move beyond the fear of conflict and help your child decide what—and who—is truly worth fighting for.
