This won’t come as a shock to any parents: children aren’t born understanding self control or focus.
Those are invaluable characteristics that have to be taught and practiced. That’s why most child psychologists recommend martial arts or karate training as an activity for children. They’ll learn how to control their movements and practice the intricate steps of karate. They’ll learn how to focus on a task. They’ll learn how to keep practicing, even when they’re frustrated at their perceived lack of progress.
Your kids will be happier and more successful as a result. Because they’re learning how to be disciplined and respectful of others, your job as a parent will get easier, too.
