Hi everyone,

Well! As you probably know if you follow my blog, I’m an avid participant in karate along with my 4 kids. Every day or so, they take either Advanced, Sparring or Weapons class. I feel it’s a very vital part of their education; every child should develop the self-confidence that Martial Arts generates.

With that being said, I’m also aware that life is never static. Yesterday, it was a beautiful 66 degrees outside…and so I decided, let’s give ourselves permission to skip karate today, and instead go play at the park.

End result - the kids adored it and I was able to take a nice slow walk and enjoy the afternoon air. It really made me realize how parents cannot be 100% firm all the time regarding after school activities….if the situation arises where children can truly have a blast doing something else, well then, give that to them and tell them to experience it 110%.

‘course, afterwards, I chose to go to karate myself. But hey, as a mom, I can take ownership of that…and give my kids their time for themselves as well.

Enjoy,

Barbara
