  • A Positive Approach to Teaching Your Children Good Manners

    A Positive Approach to Teaching Your Children Good Manners

    Good manners are hard to teach. Children don't automatically learn them. And too often, parents attempt to teach good manners by punishing their children when they don't comply with directions or expectations. Some parents even go as far as to ignore their children. This approach, however, only serves to harm the relationship the child has with his parents. Besides, negative reinforcement doesn't work well with most children. It tends to make them want to test the boundaries their parents and teachers give to see what they can get away with before getting punished again. If, however, parents take a positive approach to teaching good manners to their children, they should find ....

    The Surprising Truth about Losing Weight After 40

Try these suggestions, instead, for taking weight off and keeping it off after 40. Increasing Muscle Mass While your metabolism may remain strong for decades, your muscle ....

  • Halloween Is An Opportunity to Turn Children Into Successful Adults

    Halloween Is An Opportunity to Turn Children Into Successful Adults

    We just finished our annual Monster Hunt, and it was our biggest and best year ever. As I reflect on this success, I thought I’d share the inspiration behind its concept. When I was a kid, my school hosted a haunted house in the gym. Filled with enthusiastic teenagers in scary costumes, they would leap out of dark corners to frighten children who were brave enough to enter. I was one of those brave children. And then I wasn’t. After a particularly effective scare, little 7-year old me ran out of the gym in tears. It was an experience I never forgot. Fast forward 20 years and filled with a level of confidence that only martial arts ....

    Brain Training for ADHD

    Although Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is such a prevalent diagnosis, there are still many misconceptions surrounding it. People often assume that ADHD results from poor parenting , laziness, or some learning disorder. And with these assumptions come a wide range of approaches to “fix” the problem. However, with the lack of proper understanding of this disorder, it’s hard to find an effective method to implement . Becoming knowledgeable about the facts of the disorder can make way for more successful interventions that will build confidence in those children instead of shame . ADHD stems from an imbalance of chemicals in the brain, largely that of ....

    You might be skilled, talented, educated, and brilliant. But, if you’re not resilient, persistent, and gritty, you’ll never make the most of those other attributes.

Our experience here has been great so far. We love this place and the instructors. They are dedicated and have lots of patience with the kids. They are very attentive to the kids and correct them if they are not paying attention. Special thanks to coach Tan for doing such great job communicating with the little kids and connecting with their feelings. And also thanks to coach Troy for being playful with the younger kids to make class more fun but strict enough to the older ones when needed to be discipline.
