What Channing Tatum Is Teaching His Daughter - Channing Tatum praises his daughter's bold move in a school dispute

Channing Tatum recently shared a story about his 12-year-old daughter, Everly, handling a school dispute in a bold way. The actor revealed how he supported her actions and later discussed the importance of self-defence. The conversation took place after Everly stepped in to protect someone during an argument at school.

Everly found herself in the middle of a conflict when she saw another student being treated unfairly. According to Tatum, she physically intervened—throwing a boy to the ground and biting his ear. When her father heard what had happened, his immediate reaction was one of approval, saying, 'Fuck, yeah.'

After the incident, Tatum took Everly for ice cream. He used the moment to reinforce a lesson: if someone ignores clear warnings to stop, she has every right to defend herself. The actor has previously spoken about teaching his daughter to stand up for what's right.

Tatum was later seen at the Berlinale film festival, where he appeared with his arm in a sling. The injury was unrelated to the school incident.

The story highlights how Tatum encourages his daughter to be assertive when facing unfair situations. Everly's actions at school led to a father-daughter conversation about boundaries and self-protection. Tatum's public comments suggest he sees her response as justified in the circumstances.
