Are you raising a quitter?
One of the biggest tragedies I see all of the time is the loss of commitment by adults and our youth. It’s too easy to quit a commitment rather than follow through. Some examples are how easily people divorce, leave their jobs, file for bankruptsy, etc. If you study this closely enough, you’ll find it’s a pattern in a person’s life. Patterns are taught usually in our more formative years.
If a child avoids responsibility early in life, it becomes a natural tendency to avoid it later in life. Every time we as parents allow it to happen, we make it much easier for them to allow for that pattern to dominate and become habit. As parents, it’s too easy to let your child have their way simply because they don’t feel like doing something that has commitment or responsibility attached.
We know what’s good for our children better than they do. We need to teach them that with anything in life, quitting is not an option. Letting them quit sets them up for a lifetime of letting their feelings get in the way of achievement. With this pattern well established in their lives, they will never know the joy of reaching their full potential. It’s our job as parents to make our children finish what they set out to do, even when they no longer want to.
Martial arts is an excellent tool to teach your children what discipline and perseverence can achieve. They learn goal setting and learn tools for success that other team sports and extracurricular activities can’t come close to touching. If you are a parent in the Wake Forest, NC area and interested in character education and success training for your children, please feel free to look us up at Innovative Martial Arts Academy.

My son and grandson both have been working with Charles for over a year now. My grandson, Ethan, has shown more self confidence, self dicipline, and maturity since beginning the program. He actually made the A/B honor roll this past semester after a pretty rough school year last year. If you have a child having problems at school, consider having them go through the program. You might be very pleasently surprised at the results.
