It's good to see a little fucking rumble. It's character building.
Imagine your child getting into a playground scuffle and you’re torn between pride and fury. In this episode of 'I'm Quitting Alcohol', comedian David Boyle recounts such a moment when his son was outnumbered but still managed to stand his ground. Boyle’s mixed emotions—proud of his son's resilience yet angry at the other kids—highlight the complex role parents play in their children’s development. Should kids be taught to fight back or resolve conflicts peacefully?
Boyle dives into this age-old parenting dilemma with his usual wit and candor. He discusses the potential benefits of teaching kids self-defense, from building confidence to instilling discipline, and the fine line between defending oneself and becoming aggressive. This episode is a must-listen for any parent grappling with how to equip their children for the rough-and-tumble world of playground politics.
