Should I Return to Martial Arts

[dvcochran]

For the under 7 group, the best learning is when kids don't even know they're learning. They just naturally copy Mom and Dad. IMO, regimented classes by an instructor for 4, 5, 6 year olds is little more than baby sitting as they are not "programmed" to copy the instructor as they are their parents. Kid this age want to be like mommy and daddy - enjoy it, for in another ten years they will want to be the opposite!

Small kids don't judge their parents as right or wrong, they are only predisposed to copy them. This is scary. As parents, we must always keep this in mind and act the way we want our kids to. If so, our own moral compass will point straight and put our kids on the right path.

Very, very well said.
