๐ฅ๐ What to Say if Your Child Wants to Quit Taekwon-Do ๐๐ฅ
Child: “I hate Taekwon-Do, it’s boring, I don’t like it, I want to quit.”
You: “Okay, you can quit, but not today.”
๐ค Ever wondered why this matters?
When something feels hard, our brain and body resist because they want us to be comfortable. But if we quit on a bad day, we may never discover our true potential and might regret it later.
So, here’s the dealโฆ
โ You can’t quitโฆ but on a good day.
๐ When you have a successful day and still want to quit, let’s talk.
This approach normalizes struggle, which is the secret ingredient to building resilience. It honors their choice to explore other interests but only after they’ve experienced the best that Taekwon-Do has to offer.
Remember: Never quit on a bad day!! ๐ช๐
Share this wisdom with other parents who may need it. Let’s inspire the champions of tomorrow! ๐ฅ๐ฅ
