I have been helping my friend voluntarily to teach a dozen of kids Taekwondo.
Kids are really not easy to handle. They are unpredictable! Though I was a kid, and still am a big one, these little ones are more hyper! Realy need alot of stamina and patients.
BUT, while teaching them about kicking techniques and understanding respect and discipline, I learnt much from hem too.
I started out using punishments and shouting at them. Then I remembered that they are kids and I learn to be more patient and let them have more space to grow. I now no more punish them. I merely position them at different position so that they won't disturb each other. I do not want them to suffer low self-esteem from the punishment. I want my dojang to be loving an caring...
These little ones have too much potential and too adorable to be ruined by punishment. They are to be groomed and led to better persons and leaders.
