Well, I'm frustrated with karate. I shouldn't be surprised, but I'm disappointed. Even with three adults supervising the 8-12 kids, G finds plenty of ways to cause trouble. Tackling. Take downs. Blowing in ears. Headbutting (gently, at least, but still obnoxious). Using the equipment when he's been told not to. I'm debating what to do.
One option is to do nothing. Just keep letting him do what he's doing. He's a boy, right? They do obnoxious things sometimes, right? Someone will slug him one day when he's annoying enough, and he'll learn to knock it off.
Another option is to ask the teachers to verbally correct him more frequently. They are always watching, but the two assistant coaches aren't very outgoing with the kids. Maybe they would be able to step in a little more?
Third option- try a different business. Maybe the way this class is run is causing some problems. Too much talking? Too many other kids? Too much wait time? I don't have anything to compare it to. Its our first karate experience.
Last option is to just take him out. Why spend the money trying to make G behave in a way he isn't ready to behave? Maybe re-enroll him in a year.
I just don't know. Anyone in cyberspace have ideas?
