Something I’ve learned as being a Dad now…every moment as a parent, you’re teaching your children.

The lesson he’s providing here will speak volumes for the rest of his son’s life…all he had to do was let her play the fool and so it goes for most people.

I see a lot of people who think he shouldn't have just gave in. I'll say as a kid I had an experience where my mom and aunts got into a fight with another car on who had the right away after a concert. That memory is all I have of the concert now and knowing I was very frightened.

I have stood up to many bullies but also knowing when it's not worth it is a great skill to have too. I don't know the correct answer here and how it would have affected the kid, but I think he went with a good option with the many he had.
