And I don't think there is a problem with being a different mindset between solo self-defense and protecting someone else. If your protecting yourself, the main goal is not to die. If you are protecting others, the main goal is to stop the threat. If you die in the process, but it protects the kids, subconsciously that is a price willing to be paid.
