Learn martial arts afraid child will always miss classes

In a martial arts class, the children who often take vacations and miss classes will always be the same students; children who often miss classes tend to become weak-willed, liars, dependent, and prone to inert thinking!

Why do good students get better and better?

Because they have good study habits, not as a last resort, will not miss class, habits are a long time to insist on the formation of each class can learn a certain knowledge, can clearly see their own progress, more and more confident, learning energy is also enough.

Coaches often advise students to try not to miss a class, not to try to earn an extra session fee, but to try to get your child, in persistence, to develop good habits.

Of course there are all sorts of reasons for taking a vacation:

• I had a lot of homework this week, so I didn’t practice, so I took a leave of absence.
• I didn’t practice this week because I had relatives at home, so I took a leave of absence.
• I had extra classes this week, so I didn’t practice, so I took a leave of absence.
• I went on a trip this week, so I didn’t practice, so I took a leave of absence.
• ······

Frequent leaves of absence have a direct impact on

• Coach, how’s our boy doing this month? （He’s missing six out of eight lessons. What can he do?)
• Coach, why are his classmates practicing better than him? (Other kids don’t take vacations.)
• Coach, when can our kids compete? (How to get your child in the game when you take a lot of time off work)
• Coach, I’ve noticed that he’s not interested lately. What should we do? When can he perform on stage? When can he perform on stage? (Please practise your basic skills first)
• Coach, there seems to be a lot of problems with his boxing moves. You should correct him in class. (Don’t tell the coach to take lessons, the coach knows what he’s doing. )

The more far-reaching effects of frequent leave

“If you are young and cannot be persistent in your studies, and if you are weak when you encounter things, you will not be able to accomplish anything in the end!” What it says is that when you are a teenager, you can’t be persistent in your studies, and when you grow up, you can’t persevere in anything, and ultimately you won’t accomplish anything.

Weakness of willpower

The old adage of “a thousand days to raise an army, use it for an hour” and “one minute on the stage, ten years of work under the stage” has always been taught, which shows that persistence and willpower are needed to learn any discipline. As a parent, you can’t disrupt your child’s learning program and steps just because of some trivial matters. For example, if the weather turns cold today, or if there is a small party at home today, call the coach, “Coach, our child is not feeling well today, please take a vacation!” In this way, once encountered some small difficulties, the child will appear to be afraid of the emotions, do not want to go to overcome the difficulties, over time, the child’s willpower will become very weak.

Developing the habit of lying

Of course, children will also tell lies, but children usually do not dare to tell lies in front of the coach. But parents are different. As mentioned above, it may be a very small thing, or the weather suddenly turned cold, parents do not want to let their children go to training. But when calling the coach, they can’t say, “Hey, hello coach, the weather has turned cold today, I’ll give my kid a vacation.” At least, the parents have to lie, so the parents gave the coach a leave of absence, saying, “Hello coach, our child is a little sick today, I think it’s a cold, it’s a little serious, I ask you for a leave of absence.” The “sick leave” tactic has been tried and tested time and time again. Over time, will the child learn from this? So: parents must think twice!

Over-reliance on parents

Children with high absenteeism rates are generally more dependent, and dependency is the twin brother of “vulnerability”. When children encounter any difficulties, the first thing they think of is to “find their parents”, rather than learning to find their own solutions. Just as the “umbrella father” said, “I carry my career in my left hand, hope in my right hand, and wind and rain on my shoulders, but my children still need to walk the road on their own.” Sometimes, the child’s road really need them to go, parents please do not do it.

Formation of lazy thinking

A person’s diligence is not innate, nor is a person’s laziness. Children learn martial arts, if it is “three days fishing, two days sunshine net”, when the mood is not good, want to sleep when you do not want to get up, do not want to go to training, this laziness will certainly form habits. Just like why some people have the habit of getting up early in the morning, while some people always want to sleep. It is because something has formed a habit. If laziness forms a habit, it will be an extremely terrible thing for a small child.

Summarize

Habits are things that are done without thinking; they are everyday ways of behaving or patterns of behavior that are formed through repetition. Forty percent of human behavior is based on habit. Everyone knows the importance of habits, but they fail to cultivate them, leaving them helpless in the face of bottlenecks in life and learning.

The child itself is a blank sheet of paper and anything that falls on him can have an impact on them. Regardless of what they learn, it is important for children to develop a proper attitude towards learning and good study habits, so that they understand that learning is something that needs to be taken seriously and given its full attention. Otherwise, it will not only affect the martial arts training, but also develop a learning attitude to cope with everything.

Learn martial arts, first you have to pay attention to this course, have to pay attention to adhere to, have to adhere to in order to develop good learning habits, have good learning habits, will benefit for life.
