Good grades and better study habits are the result of a child’s level of self-control. This article will discuss some ways that could help boost your child’s ability to control their focus and emotions.
According to a study conducted by the University of Pennsylvania, martial arts training is one of the most effective ways to develop self-control in children. In fact, the study showed that martial arts training yielded better results than yoga or meditation!

The Life Skill Goals Method teaches younger students how best to prioritize their time so they can reach higher goals both in life and academically.
By teaching self-control and self-discipline we instill good leadership qualities which give kids an advantage over peers who lack such skills. In most kids world’s the idea of discipline is usually a form of punishment. A kind of “getting In Trouble”! But, at Life Skill, we teach students that Discipline means:
Always Do Our Best! Always get better! Always Have Fun!
Children who participate in martial arts classes are more likely to exhibit better self-control than those who don’t, according to a new study by the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and Columbia University.
