Parents - What to expect.

Dear parents,

i just wanted to say a few words to parents, as over the years i have noticed a direct correlation between a students success in our classes and the level of commitment that a parent makes.

First of all, none of our classes are not a child minding service as you are fully aware, and that we activley encourage parents to sit in our classses, to see their childs progression as well as showing that we have an open door policy unlike others, and have nothing to hide. The child protection officer has also written a letter along these lines, and ask that parents of little puma's are in attendance at all times, to help with issues such as taking to the toilet etc. (please see letter on site).

Although not every juniors parent has the time in todays busy lifestyles, it is noticed that the parents whho see and speak to the instrucotrs regularly, can help with thier childs development in class. The parents who watch in class, at gradings, take their child to competitions and other events, whatever the reason, seem to produce children who stick at it longer, who last the test of time, and who develop their skills better and quicker.

Even more so are the families who take part in tkd all together, dads, mums, kids, grandads etc. These families stick toghether and train together, enjoy weekends away together at events and competitions, and grade together.

Although not everyone can commit to that extreme, what i am asking is that in some small way, some involvement is far better for your childs development and longevity of this activity, which in turn will increase your value for money. this is far better than none at all. Hope you fnd this helpful.
