下一個
兒子的跆拳道已經上了兩個多月了。從junior white belt跳級到brown belt是靠練了兩年多的中國功夫的底子。有了那個刺激,自然也肯用功一些。兩個月,每周兩次,從沒缺過。上周末升級考試前,小人兒自己在家比劃,就怕通不過。昨天終於拿到了夢寐以求的red belt。一臉的得意。
乘兒子上課的機會,和master聊了一會兒。上跆拳道的目的是想磨練孩子的耐心,也多一樣discipline和responsibility的訓練。這個在開始就和master說清楚了。說起最近兒子在學校的frustration,以及在家裏老爸為培養兒子對跆拳道的興趣而讓兒子在家教老爸一些跆拳道的基本姿勢和動作,每教一次老爸付一塊錢作Allowance,master的第一個反應就是: “That's good. I am considering to put him as a teaching assistant after he move to junior blue belt.You know, he can learn more by teaching others." 據兒子說當TA沒有報酬,到時候估計還的老爸倒帖了。
下課後,和兒子一說,小人兒還是挺願意的。就趁熱打鐵:”I am a little bit worried about your way to do thing at home at this moment. You know, TA has a lot of responsibility and takes a lot of time. You have to learn how to manage your time and get homework done as soon as possible. If you do not improve, I am not sure you have time to be a TA."
人家連忙說:“I know, I know. You just need to send me here."這孩子是愛聽老師話的,希望當TA真能有點幫助呢。
還要四個月才能拿到blue belt。看兒子的身體柔軟性和學習動作的進度,還真有點”天才“呢。兒子不是運動員的料,動作協調性並不好,但中國功夫和跆拳道裏的好多動作,他作起來似乎並不那麽困難。好多他教老爸的動作,老爸要練習好久才能掌握,而他卻比較快就上手了。昨天在學跳起來在空中踢腿的動作,他練了幾次就有點象模象樣了。看樣子,還是要挑孩子真喜歡玩的項目。
