Want more Confident, Respectful Kids?

STOP:
🚫fixing every situation
🚫making excuses
🚫agreeing it's always someone else's fault

DO:
💚guide them though finding solutions
💚let them be responsible
💚hold them accountable

Confidence & respectful behavior isn't the result of us constantly running interference for our kids, making excuses, smoothing the way, and removing every challenge. That simply teaches them that life should always be easy, and that we don't believe they are capable when it's not.

Confidence & respect take root and grow when parents & mentors set high & achievable expectations, guide kids through handling challenges, and showing them the value of accountability & responsibility.

High rank testing prep workout at HTA

Yes, it's Father's Day, but we've had testers ask for the extra help to prepare for next week's testing.

Congratulations new Level 1 Instructor, Miss Grace Fullerton!

TODAY, Wednesday June 10th
Bring your buddies to your class with you today for:
Self-defense Buddy Day

We'll be practicing fun & effective bully defense and other self-defense skills.

Your buddies need to be the correct age for your class.
They need their parent or yours to come in and sign the participation permission.

We want our students to stay loyal to us, so to be fair, we prefer your friends who go to other local martial arts schools stay loyal to their program, too. That's why we ask you to invite your friends who aren't already students in other local martial arts programs.

High Rank Testing Prep Workout
at HTA Sundays June 7th & 14th
Noon - 2:00 pm

To help those preparing to test at:
•this June's ME, or
•September (Dallas), or
•January in Cincinnati

All 2nd Degree & higher TA black belts are welcome to participate and help them train.

You want your children to respect you.

That means 1) setting expectations and boundaries ...
and then 2) following through to consistently and calmly hold them accountable.

Consequences are uncomfortable, but it's that uncomfortableness that will help to shape and improve their behavior.

We reward the behavior we accept.

And the behavior we accept will impact their success at school, in friendships, and on the job.

Teaching kids to be accountable.

Kids are going to make mistakes as well as poor choices, and the earlier in life we can help them learn how to manage next steps, the more successful they will be at home, at school, in friendships, in activities, and in a career.

Parents often ask us to chat with their child as part of their family's "village" when an issue happens.

The natural reaction when faced with the uncomfortable results of those mistakes & poor choices tends to be:

🚫Denial

🚫Deflection

🚫Avoidance

🚫Anger

🚫"No one likes me"

🚫"Everyone always picks on me"

Our goal is to avoid being led down the rabbit holes that can be created with each of those ☝️ and to help them stay focused on:

✅the facts

✅their role in the situation

✅different choices they could have made

✅next steps

✅... being accountable

Accountability is often uncomfortable.

Uncomfortableness encourages us to change. 💛
