What could be more important than the safety of our children? To protect your child, think of the outside world as a jungle and your child as prey. The predator will be looking for the young and unattended!
Take stock of your child. Are they overweight? Take this seriously. Again, it is your obligation as a parent to make sure proper nutrition and exercise are maintained. This is not a vanity issue, but a health issue.
Here's the tough one... are you, as a parent, the role model that you want your child to become like? They will do what they see as examples, not what you say!
In the final analysis, it is not what you do for your children, but what you have taught them to do for themselves that will make them safe and successful human beings.
I take my obligation as a parent as as a professional martial arts instructor very seriously... I hope you fell the same way!
