Learning to win fights despite a physical development disadvantage is exactly the wrong interpersonal skill to teach.
Is it? I agree it’s probably not the best, but is it worse than having the kid learn that he sucks, that the world is a nasty, unfair place, and that there’s nothing he can do about it?

I’ll grant that in some cases it might be superior to no intervention, or to teaching acceptance.
