They said I am wasting my time and money on Rian’s extracurricular activity (Taekwondo). Aside from the daily fare from our house to the dojang, the uniforms, gear, belt promotion tests, and tournaments are also very expensive.
But you know what we parents think about sending our kids and allowing them to join their passion? It’s about the valuable lessons these sports teach them, on and off the mats, ring, field, or arena. 🔥
They say Rian must be very tired and that I’m a heartless mom because after school, she still goes to the dojang for 2 hours of training from Monday to Friday. But do you know 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘀𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗲𝘀 𝗺𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝗼𝘀𝘁? It’s that my daughter might go out of the house and be around people who could slowly become a bad influence on her. 😔
I’d rather have Rian go to the dojang after school 𝗧𝗛𝗔𝗡 spend her time scrolling and scrolling on T*kTok, watching unhealthy and nonsense videos.
I prefer her to be trained in combat sports, so she can defend herself when I’m not around.
I allowed her to join Taekwondo because that’s been her passion since she was 4 years old. She officially started training when she was 6.
They say I’m just forcing Rian to join Taekwondo because it was my childhood dream, that I just want her to pursue what I couldn’t. But honestly, no. She really wanted it.
Even now that she’s almost 9 years old this coming August, she still insists that she loves Taekwondo. And even when I sometimes tell her to stop because we lack money, she gets mad at me, because she really loves it. 🥋

Sending kids into sports and allowing them to grow in a 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗳𝘂𝗹 𝗲𝗻𝘃𝗶𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗺 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗽𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗯𝗹𝗲. ♥️
