Re: Kids' classes, especially Boys

lots of adult assistants is a *big* help, even if they're not ranked or even trained in aikido. Sometimes a parent will want to put on a gi and train in class, and it's been a good thing so far when it happens (the parent has to train with all the kids, not just their own - and, in the current case, the son is learning by showing his dad how to do the techniques). I could see where that could be a problem with some parents, though, and I just hope that I don't have to stop allowing it because of some over-controlling adult.
