Is It Rude? Is It Mean? Is It Bullying?
While bullying is a very terrible thing for anyone to endure, it is important to look at the actual behavior to determine how to help.
Accepting Responsibility
Children must be taught how to not blame, but accept responsibility for their actions and feelings in any situation to lead a more productive life.
School Readiness
Most parents and children are not even thinking about the back to school countdown. But, teachers, administrators, and students will once again be filling the halls and back to classes in just a few weeks. To prepare for this, it’s crucial that parents implement strategies now to give their children a jump start before heading back to school.
Boredom – An Essential Ingredient in Creativity
The rising monotony of each day brings about an increase in technology use to keep them occupied. What they should be doing is embracing the boredom and allowing their creative juices to flow.
SKILLZ Based Training vs Technique-Based Training
Most martial arts forms are rooted in tradition and have been taught the same way for years. And while tradition is vital to keeping the art preserved, the way it is taught in today’s modern world isn’t as effective. As times change and as we become more educated, we must adjust to meet the needs of the people we serve. This is especially true when teaching children.
