Re: Teaching children, seeing parents

Onegaishimasu. I have been teaching children for 19 years, and I have made a point to let the parents know from the get go that the decision to try aikido must be the child's decision. I have let parents know from the beginning that I do not want to try to teach a child that does not want to be there.

In gassho,

Mark
