How to stop kids from developing the Habit of Quitting
This year marks Life Skill’s 30th anniversary! Boy, Time Flies!
I feel very lucky to be able to look back and see so many close relationships, so many memories and so many students who have realized their goal of becoming Black Belt Leaders.
As we all have seen though, not all students complete their journey. Keeping kids motivated & focused on goals is extremely difficult. Most students who give up on their Black Belt goal, regret stopping. They really wish they hadn’t quit.
So, what should we do when your child comes up to you and says, “Mom/Dad, I want to quit Martial Arts!”?
1. First, we need to ask questions to figure out what exactly it is that has changed.
2. Then, you need to discuss the situation with your instructors.
3. We also need to help kids see that quitting is never the correct choice. Especially if it’s something like developing into a Black Belt Leader. Something that is really going to add value to their life.
Life Skill instructors commit to making sure that each student will reach their goal.
But, it’s the support of the parents that is the secret ingredient!
Thank you ahead of time, for not giving up on your future Black Belt Leaders.
I know that they’ll really appreciate it later in life.
