Parents Coaching Tips - Black Belt Success

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.

DON’T: Criticize, instead encourage your child.
