Re: Do Senseis Usually Not Want Parents Around During Class?
Hanna, the kids class is just for the kids. I don't participate in the class. My son was upset after the class but quickly forgot about it (as kids tend to do) and wants to continue going to class.
The sensei doesn't want just me to not be present, he encourages all parents to not stay and watch.
I haven't actually said anything negative to my son about aikido. I tell him he is doing great and to keep working on it.
Either I trust the sensei or not, well I have a lot of respect for him but he was acting quite unusual yesterday. I personally don't think it's such a simple matter as to paint it in black and white as do I trust him or not. I'm new to this and still figuring it out. Plus, there are not many dojos around here and my son and I are both excited about aikido's uniqueness.
