Allotted Time

Everyone has 24 hours in a day to complete their daily tasks. To get everything done within the 24 hours, we all must allot the time. Since there is so much to do, we all wish there were more than 24 hours in a day, but—that is all there is. This means that within a given day, if you increase the time allotted to one task, you must decease the time allotted to one or more other tasks.

One responsibility of parents is to teach their children to behave as civilized controlled human beings, not as uncontrolled animals that behave according to their instincts. Parents have the responsibility to teach their children to be clean, courteous, and respectful and to keep their emotions and subsequent behaviors under control. For some children this may be a problem, but it is the problem of the parents of the children, not of martial art instructors and their students.

Martial art instructors teach students martial arts. Many of these students are children. A byproduct of the martial art instruction and training is that they reinforce the training performed by the parents of the children. The marital art training merely reinforces the parent training; it is neither a part of parent training responsibilities nor is it a substitute for them.
