i thought i'd chime in and reccomend some self defense classes. i didn't see anyone talk about this.
not only will they learn ways to defend themselves if put in these situations, they will take away a great sense of dignity and self awareness that a lot of kids are losing today through tv and computers.
for small kids in particular, i reccomend aikido. it is a martial art that teaches you to use your attacker's force against them.... turning that punch their throwing into a debilitating arm bar or even a flip to the ground.
No matter how big you are or how you fit in there are things you can learn to stop bully's in your tracks. i know a 5'1 blond girl that can kick the shit out of just about anyone. she doesn't of course, but she could if they were after her.
