i don't think you are a bad parent if you teach your child to fight out against a bully. but i think you are wrong in teaching to poke someone in the eye! imagine if your child hits the bully in the eye and something goes wrong. what if the bully loses vision or suffers some damage or injury? isn't that a little too much punishment? and how will it make your child feel? hitting back with a push or a slap is fine, but specifically poking in the eye, i feel, is a horribly dangerous idea.
