A LITTLE PARENTING ADVICE ANYONE??

Okay, I need some advice..... Tonight while we were at my brothers football game, all the kids were down playing on the grass and under the bleachers. A couple boys were kinda picking on Tay a little bit and Trace walked over to one of them and just shoved him. Not just a little push, a serious shove. Then he said- You don't be mean to my sister. It was SO dang funny. He was so serious. I mean, this kid is Tay's age and quite a bit bigger, but he didn't even care. SO after i quit laughing, I turned to my mom and I was like- Okay, does he get in trouble for pushing, or should I tell him i'm proud of him for sticking up for his sister? I ended up talking to him about both, but don't think he understood. which one is more important for him to learn? any advice for the next time?

I probably would have done what you did. Talked to him about maybe sticking up for her without the pushing but still telling him it's important to stand up for family.
