October LIFE SKILL: FRIENDSHIP!!

At Bonita Martial Arts Academy, we build our kids up to be champions in life! One of the ways we do this is through our BullyProof program. We go over the Life Skill: defining the skill, telling them examples, having them provide examples, working on each Life Skill at home, and we also try to incorporate the Life Skill into our class.

This months Life Skill is Friendship: being a friend.

How does BMAA help instill Friendship?

At BMAA, we believe in building Friendships and being a good friend to others. It’s important to have and be a good friend to others, this helps prevent kids from becoming bullies, and will allow them to stand up for themselves, and their friends, when faced with a bully.

One of the many ways that we teach them to be good friends, is through encouragement. Encouraging others when they feel down, having a tough time, or just need a little bit of support is a great way to pick someone up! Saying something as little as, “Good job,” can turn someone’s day around.

Another way to show friendship, is by being friendly. It’s important to be friendly with everyone you meet. Smiling, being cheerful, sharing something, taking an interest in what someone is saying/doing are great ways to be friendly.

Showing respect is another key part of being a good friend. You must show respect to not only them as a person, but also their belongings. Talking down to a friend, breaking or losing their things, being rude or mean to them is disrespectful. Instead, trying building them up through positive thoughts and encouragement, taking care of their belongings if you borrow or use them, and being nice/polite to them.

We encourage the kids to be friendly on a daily basis and they work with everybody in the class to continuously practice this Life Skill. This is just one benefit amongst many in the Martial Arts World.
