Is Your Child a Bully?

"No one wants to hear that their child is a bully. But if complaints are building up from children, teachers or other parents that your son or daughter is bullying other kids, it's a good idea to listen.Children and teens who are bullies are more likely to become criminals than other children. According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, boys who were identified as bullies in middle school were four times as likely as their non-bullying peers to have more than one criminal conviction by the time they're 24."

Many People have asked me if Martial Arts teach children to be more aggressive, the answer to that is that when Martial Arts are taught correctly with live skills, children, teen agers, and adults become much less aggressive. They have self confidence to be sure which alows them the space and the tools to deescalate the aggression coming at them, to defuse the situation. In Tai Chi Chuan there is a saying to Attach, Neutralize and Return. Listen to what is being said, the body language really seek to understand the aggressive person, the neutralize, find common ground, then Return, by offering another alternative.

Premier Martial Arts is a world leader in teaching and empowing people to have the ability and courage to stand up for what they believe in.

Listening

"Be willing to listen more than you talk. Instead of telling children how they should feel or think, listen and give them the chance to express their own feelings and thoughts. Also, instead of telling others who you are, give them the opportunity to tell you who they are. Have a great day!"
