“People think that the difference between a good life and a bad one is money, luck or fame. But the real difference can be found in one word: attitude..” — Dr. Robyn Silverman – Kapatid Martial Arts’ Child Development Expert
July 2010 is Attitude Month as part of Kapatid Martial Arts’ POWerful Words Character Development program! Students will be studying, developing and experiencing powerful life lessons focusing on how to develop a positive attitude in a fun and successful way that works for everybody. In addition to all of the physical skills that they’ll be developing this month, students will be discussing and practicing the following concepts that will help them to realize and appreciate the value and benefit of being the kind of person who’s positive attitude helps him to become a leader to those around him. Students will be focusing on the following topics both in and out of class:
- What is attitude? Positive attitude vs Negative attitude
- Thoughts and Feelings: How do thoughts and feelings affect attitude?
- Actions: How do people with positive or negative attitudes behave?
- Choosing our attitude: Becoming more positive and how changing affects ourselves and others.
“Our attitude colors every part of our life and even when we try to cover it up, it always tends to find a way to seep out.” says Dr. Robyn Silverman, Kapatid Martial Arts’ child & adolescent expert, and creator of the POWerful Words Character Development program used at the facility. “It’s vital that we talk to our children about it because unlike so many of our characteristics, attitudes are in our control to maintain or change each and every day.”
Patrick Consing, Executive Director of Kapatid Martial Arts Academy says, “At our academy, attitude is everything. People are always commenting about the positive energy they feel when they enter our school or meet one of our students…and this all stems from their attitude! This is a skill that each of our students can hone, regardless of their athletic abilities, so it’s truly a life skill that will benefit them for their entire life.”
Kapatid Martial Arts’ strong curriculum and the POWerful Words Character Development system provide our students with the opportunities to become UNSTOPPABLE in life. These lessons will remain with our students for life and we’re honored to help them achieve the success that they deserve” says Consing.
