Dear Team!
What an exciting week this is! Shihan Sgar will be here on Friday and Saturday will be the Seminars! If you forgot to register…what’s wrong with you??? Similar seminars cost much more, but since he’s Sensei’s mentor and we want you take advantage of this amazing experience, you can still register for only $39, but you won’t be eligible for the free t-shirt! We have a few t-shirts extra for $15. They’ll go fast, so pre-order yours now! Bring your cameras for great memories! It’s taken us six years to get Shihan Sgar here! In place of our regular Friday Night BBC in the month of September we are having the most exciting BBC we’ve ever had! Shihan Sgarlata’s Seminar! Our next BBC Night will be October 1! Board breaking!

Thursday’s schedule will be 6:00 pm - 7:30 pm: A Day Workout. Friday beginning at 6:00 pm will be the B Day Workout followed by a Fun Run! If you come to watch and cheer on the candidates, you will receive class credit!

Mastering the Art of Parenting by Brian Tracy (Thanks to our friend, Ivan Kravitz for sharing)

Mastering the Art of Parenting By Brian Tracy

Sunday, April 18, 2010 at 9:13pm
The most important single role of parenting is to love and nurture your children and to build in them feelings of high self-esteem and self-confidence. If you raise your children feeling terrific about themselves, if you bring them up full of eagerness to go out and take on the world, then you have fulfilled your responsibility in the highest possible sense.Why Parents Don’t Love EnoughThere are two major reasons for the failure by parents to love their children enough. First, the parents do not love themselves. Parents with low self-esteem have great difficulty giving more love to their children than they feel for themselves. The second reason that parents don’t love their children enough is they often have the mistaken notion that their children exist to fulfill their expectations.Children are Not PropertyThe starting point of raising super kids is to realize that your children are not your property. Your children belong to themselves. They are a gift to you from high above, and a temporary gift at that.Children are a Precious GiftWhen you look at your children as precious gifts that you can only enjoy for a short time, you see your role as parents differently. When you celebrate and encourage the special nature and personality of your child, he or she grows like a flower in sunshine. But if you try to get your child to be something he or she is not, your child’s spirit will wither, and his or her potential for happiness and joy will shrivel like a leaf on a tree in autumnLove Makes the DifferenceThe most important consideration in raising super kids is the amount of love they receive. Children need love like flowers need water. A continuous flow of love and approval from the parent to the child is the child’s lifeline to emotional and physical health. Love deprivation is surely the most serious problem that a child can suffer during his or her formative years.Unconditional Love and AcceptanceMake it clear to your child that nothing he or she does could ever cause you to love him or her less than 100 percent. The most wonderful gift you can give your child is the absolute conviction that you love him or her completely, without reservation, no matter what he or she does and no matter what happens.Praise and EncouragementGive your children continual praise and encouragement for the positive things they do, even small things. Praise and reinforce what you would like to see repeated. Praise them to build their self-esteem and self-confidence.Action ExerciseAsk yourself what it would be like to be your own child. Put yourself in the position of your child or your children, and then evaluate yourself as a parent. What are your strengths and weaknesses? What do you do well and what do you do poorly? What are some of the thing that you do that might be causing your children to grow up with lower self-esteem than you would like? What can you do, starting today, to be a better and more loving parent?
