No.1 is not aggressive in karate, but today that changed. He was on the attack. I hope this continues. He's very much a follower and I see how kids take advantage of that. I can't step in a cover for him all the time because he does need to stand up for himself and his things. So, I hope karate has a positive affect on him. I'm not saying he should kick and punch when others try to bully him, there are other ways to handle that - at first, but I do want him to be able to speak up. Mr. and I talk with No.1 after bullying episodes, we encourage him to speak up and not follow when others are doing wrong. I just hope he really gets it one day.
So, here's to defending yourself and your stuff.
Here's to being brave.
And here's to a Better Mommy Me.
