I gave my kid the same advice, it worked.

Firstly: if they are wearing glasses, tell them to take them off. Then form a fist, tucking your thumb in. Aim at the nose. Sorted.
This advice saved a friend of my daughter's from relentless bullying. She got punished by the headmaster, but it was worth it. The punishment was being dangled upside down by one foot - she was six at the time and thought it was hilarious.
"Then form a fist, tucking your thumb in."
For clarification's sake:
Never, ever wrap your fingers around your thumb before throwing a punch. You will break your thumb.
To form a proper fist, hold your hand out flat, curl your four fingers into your palm, then tuck your thumb along the second joint of your fingers.

Thanks, must have remembered it wrong - its been a while :)
It's a common beginner's mistake. This, along with sticking your thumb out straight, which is another good way of getting your thumb broken.
These are mistakes that you only make once. ;-)
People like u/LoneWulf will be important in a revolution. Great teacher.
NEVER.
EVER.
Tuck your thumb.
