Some helpful hints on how to coach your child to Black Belt Success
DO: Always, always compliment your child after each class (find something they did well). This is also a great time to give out a hug or kiss (these are free so be generous). High 5’s work great, too!
DON’T: Criticize your child during or immediately after class. Use the PCP (Praise/Correct/Praise) principle and do so at the appropriate time.
DO: Watch as many classes as possible. Get involved, be your child’s #1 fan and cheerleader.
DON’T: Be a “Drop Off Parent” (We miss you when you’re not there).
DO: Tell your child how proud you are of him/her (anytime is great).
DON’T: Complain about traffic, your busy schedule, or money in from of children. They can begin to feel guilty or selfish.
DO: Get into a regular schedule as much as possible so children can mentally prepare for class early in the day.
DON’T: Threaten to take TaeKwonDo away when they misbehave at home.
DO: Take advantage of teams and special classes we offer, involvement leads to commitment.
DON’T: Criticize, instead encourage your child.
DO: Lead by example, eat healthy, drink water, have a positive attitude. Deal with stress and challenges the same way you would want your children to.
DO: Give your child the thing they want more than anything else in the world, your time!
Working together as a team…nothing can stop us! We always say “The goals we set are the goals we get!”
