As parents it is up to us to put our children’s best interests first. Whether or not our guidance is welcomed or popular should not affect our decisions. If your child does not want to take his antibiotics you do not leave that decision up to him. You take control and do what is right.
Medicine is a no-brainer. Cause and effect are obvious as are the risks that would come with making the wrong decision. Other causes and effects are not quite as easy to reason our way through. If your child wants to quit kung fu, or any other activity that has been helping him, it can become an argument you fail tackle if you do not keep clarity in your perspective. The number of people who in one breath talk about how kung fu has literally changed their child’s life and in the next pull their kids out of training because their child wants to try another activity, are too numerous to count.
Some things, kung fu is one of them, are like weight lifting. If you are a weight lifter and one day you decide you do not want to lift weights anymore, you do not get to keep the muscles you gained through weight lifting. The same goes with the benefits of kung fu - they “It is in your moments of decision that your destiny is shaped.” Tony Robbinsstay with you only as long as you are training. If you value the benefits your child has received through kung fu and you do not want them to lose those benefits, then quitting cannot be an option.
“It is in your moments of decision that your destiny is shaped.” - Tony Robbins (b. 1960)
