Most of us do not fully remember what we were like as children. Maybe we were naughty. Maybe we were wild. Maybe we were bad listeners. Those are years that are long forgotten.

What we do know is that times have changed, and today, it often feels harder to discipline our kids. We need them to eat their food or do their homework or stop jumping on the furniture but we also don’t want to be parents that are always yelling at their kids or punishing them. It’s not fun.

Your child needs to learn discipline.

Your child needs to learn to listen.

Your child needs to learn to be in control of their bodies.

These may be hard to teach at home. But they’re an area of focus here at Master P’s World Class Tae Kwon Do.

Learning Discipline this Back to School Season

As you seek out programs to help your child learn this back to school season, consider Tae Kwon Do. Discipline is a huge part of Tae Kwon Do.

It starts with physical discipline. As students learn their forms, they are taught that they need to stay still. They need to keep their eyes forward. They need to remember where their hands go, how to keep their legs steady, how to fluidly move from one motion to the next.

Then they need to learn mental discipline. Children cannot be unfocused with Tae Kwon Do. They have to pay attention, they have to learn to follow alone. They are instructed to show other students and their instructor that they are watching and listening.

Lastly, they need emotional discipline. They cannot let fear or anger or stress get to them. They learn how to control their emotions and overcome setbacks, so that their emotions do not take hold of them and affect their behaviors.

*We* also discipline here at Master P’s World Class Tae Kwon Do – of course, in a way that is kind and friendly. But we show the children that are enrolled that Tae Kwon Do is something to take seriously. We make sure they know each movement. We correct them when they need to learn. We provide guidance and reminders to make sure that they’re continuing their progress.

Tae Kwon Do helps provide some of the discipline that can be hard for so many of us to do at home, all while teaching other skills that can help children thrive socially, academically, and throughout their lifetime.
