If you have such a child, get them into an extracurricular where they can compete with others based on body mass. I got my ass kicked in varsity wrestling after a grade skip. Still, I competed as I had since late elementary school. I could start varsity because our high school was smallish and I fit into an open weight class. I had a strong peer group orthogonal to my classmates. I spent time in the weight room and otherwise working out. I learned how to handle myself for the rare occasions that conflicts became physical. These skills helped me immensely when I began university at 16.
