Children's Home Rules
Parents play a crucial role in helping children get the most out of TaeKwonDo. It's natural for kids to show an interest in something, and then lose interest quickly and move on before they ever see the benefits of what they are doingg. How many children sign up for piano lessons or soccer teams and then quit because they don't like the practice?
We ask [parents to be aware of this and remind d children that TaeKwonDo practice is a commitment. If children sign up for the black belt program,the expectation is that they will persevere until that goal is reached. The more enthusiasm, dedication, and commitment you show, the more your children are likely to continue.
Here are some tips:
- Join with them. many families move through the belts together. The commitment and sense of accomplishment are strengthened by doing it together.
- Set up a regular schedule of classes so your children get into a routine and schedule other events around the TaeKwonDo classes.
- Participate in the learning activities and exercises in this website. Help your children set realistic goals, and help monitor them. Chick your children's work and progress.
- Learn the home rules, oaths, and tenets. Make them a part of your family discussions. Remind children that TaeKwonDo is used only in the academy and in life-threatening situations.
- Get 'to do' lists from the desk and help your children fill them out. Monitor progress.
- Have your children take responsibility for keeping track of uniforms and belts, getting ready for class, being on time, etc. Stress that your children have an active part in their success.
- Ask your children what they are learning in class. Ask them to demonstrate. Praise their efforts.
- Get to know the instructors. Talk to them if you have any questions or concerns.
- Observe your children in class (when it is allowed).
