Martial Arts for children A note to parents on development problems and motivation for children

Martial Arts for children A note to parents on development problems and motivation for children I want to have a common conce that parents continue to meet, even in my role as a martial arts instructor, parents and colleagues. This is the difficulty that many parents often encounter in their young students, martial arts classes just more confusion in their enthusiasm of children when they are actually in class. "I am here to fight" or "He only wants to play with his friends," are common complaints that I hear frustrated parents.Often, these parents can monitor their son or daughter to leave, but then noted that what we do not want the baby. "How," asked me, "he may decide to continue the training, the fight, but when it's time to come?" It is very difficult to understand the contradiction between the fight for their children to class and that was so funny when there.To solve the "mystery" and to eliminate misunderstandings, we must first understand how a child thinks and the way their brain has developed to this point in their young against lives.What them after class, but enjoy when I am here? The answer is ...... timing.And this is related to the physiological development and growth of its open brain.Quite, children (and adults) do not develop an understanding of the concept of planning and timing. That is to say that if you are into something that is what they want. Everything else, as pleasant or necessary at this time as an obstacle to the "fun time." Whether it's television or play with their friends, or anything else, if a child is something, anything The "what" is their full attention - period.Don 't blame the child, or think you have bad parents or the only case of something like that. It 'only natural. The fact of the matter is that ...... The child can not do what you want, because ... 1) He is not an adult in a small body2) The parts of the brain, this type of information and data, in the true sense of the word has not yet been developed, and ... 3) He has to be something that you know that catch his attention, before they need to class.And, here is the secret to overcome the frustration and confusion. Just do not let your young martial artist, into something that you know, he or she does not want to stop when it's time to go to karate or martial arts class.   You can stir-crazy? What is a child to do while waiting?   Good question. And the answer is ...... Practice for the preparation of the class. "This simple step effectively help your child develop the skills they are trying to encourage and in the brain rather than areas.So comes in TV-land or whatever, at least for the time, or prior to departure for class, they are "Get ready". Make a rule that in order to ensure that a uniform, belt, and equipment. They have by their practice, "which shows what they leaed last class" or "what is their favorite techniques." We, as parents and teachers must help our children about these moments with sweet memories of other obligations and needs, until you lea that for themselves. Unfortunately, until a child leas to think out their plan for certain periods of time (in contrast to the general, "you can ____ sometime?" O "When it tomorrow?") Must be taken to distance than they are "at this time. "I know it is rough, but it is also" natural. " And no amount of wishing for an easy task, as a parent, the child's brain differently. The fact is that in order to develop this skill, you need as a stand-in, to help them through.So, the next time you have something to do, come to martial arts class, try your child a "head - up "before being in a particular activity. Once the habit of thinking ahead and preparing for an event in the future will be increasingly on their own. Until then, it will be a po 'of nudging, pressure, and remember.
