My DS has just turned 6. He's our only son and has 3 sisters. He's recently become obsessed with fighting/wrestling and trying it out on his sisters. We don't tolerate it but DH has suggested we try to find an avenue for his energy/aggrression.
The wrestling thing I think comes from 2 boys next door who are allowed to watch WWE and play violent video games to their hearts content. They also wrestle each other.
Anyway DH is keen for him to go to judo. He believes it will give him an opportunity to let off steam in a controlled environment. I'm not convinced it's a great idea. I've just been reading a judo website which mentions terms like "stranglehold". It makes me feel weak at the knees that he'd come home and try the moves out on his sisters.
Anyone got any views/experiences?
