When it comes to winning and losing, the experience goes hand-in-hand. To value victory, you must first understand what losing means. For healthy growth in your child, they need to find an appreciation for what it means to do their best. Tiger-Rock Martial Arts of Hutto is here to provide a learning environment that also works on honing their life-long skills.
With our different programs and age groups, your child can discover early on the importance of competition and setting goals for themselves. From understanding the concept of victory to the acceptance of failure, our team is here to help your child through it all. We offer programs that give students from four years old to adults a chance to better themselves. However, it’s essential to know how you can help just by being there for your child.
What You Can Do For Your Child
Tiger-Rock Martial Arts of Hutto encourages that every student of ours compete in regular competitions. This helps them improve and test their progress. During these competitions, your child will face victories and defeats on a regular basis. This exposes them to this concept early on so they can feel the emotion that goes into them. As their parents, you have many ways that you can help them better understand their feelings.
For example, if your child loses and wants to express that, let them know that it’s acceptable for them to express disappointment or frustration. Bottling up those feelings only builds negative emotions and attitudes over the course of years. Our instructors encourage the same behavior during the program. Furthermore, teaching our students to promote good sportsmanship is also a must for behavioral development.
While your child may set their sights on a goal that they fail to reach, encouraging them to try again is always recommended. The important thing is to praise their efforts and encourage them to keep trying. With our staff’s help, you can rest easy knowing that your child is getting the best direction they can.
