In November we will be working on the character lesson: TEAMWORK.
Our goal is to help our students with both their physical and mental development.
We want our students to be well-rounded individuals. There are so many areas in life where teamwork is important.
We as Martial Artists are in a unique position to instill activities that properly engage children with other children their own age. By participating in age-appropriate activities that teach teamwork, you will notice your child become a better citizen in social circles, and be a better family participant at home.
You can help support the lessons by reinforcing this behavior at home.
Below are some tips on how to compliment the lessons we teach about TEAMWORK this month:
-
Make a list of the chores that must be done around the house and have your child pick the chores that are appropriate for his/her age
-
Play family games and model good sportsmanship and fair play.
-
Have your child participate in helping with more difficult chores such as cooking, gardening, washing the car, etc.
