POWerful Words
In our Kidz Karate programs we strive to be much more than just a kick-and-punch school! We are always looking for ways to enhance your children's learning experience. You deserve a full curriculum that helps to develop your children socially and cognitively as well as physically. That is why we are proud to help your child to develop using programs written by renown Child and Adolescent Development Specialist, Robyn J. A. Silverman, PhD. Dr. Robyn will be providing a multitude of resources to the families of our school for the betterment of our children.
Dr. Robyn, as many call her, has developed a comprehensive character development curriculum called POWerful Words. This was specifically for Martial Arts students like ours! POWerful Words provides easy-to-follow lessons for children ages 4-7 and 7-13 years - lessons that give each student the strength to explore and the foundation to succeed. Here at Kidz Karate such a character education program used within the context of our organised Martial Arts lessons, invites students to listen, share, discover and reflect on the ways to become upstanding members of our community as well as confident individuals in their own right.
You will notice some very exciting benefits with our Kidz Karate programs as we prove to be the finest Personal Development Centre in our area. Our Bulletin Boards offer our parents a one stop information centre to keep you updated as to what the children are learning, in addition, every month you'll be receiving editions of the Parents' Perch, Dear Dr. Robyn, and POWerful Projects. The Parents' Perch is a letter that describes the POWerful Word of the Month and how we will be teaching it in our Junior Dragons and Red Dragons classes. This can serve as a great discussion starter for you and your kids!
The Dear Dr. Robyn Column is kind of like "Dear Abby" for parents of the Martial Arts...I know you'll find it helpful! {If you have a question that you'd like to be included in this column, feel free to e-mail her directly at DrRobyn@powerfulwordsonline.com or you can submit them to your instructor}.
Each month our students have the opportunity to be positively recognized for completing a POWerful Project. These projects are age appropriate, very educational, and fun to do! You'll also notice that during every class our students take part in the POWerful Words Mat Chat that will help them solidify their understanding of the POWerful Character Word of the Month. Dr. Robyn has written this curriculum specifically for use in out Martial Arts School, so our students will actually be getting two world-class programs for the price of one!
The Southern Cross Martial Arts Centre is already regarded as the finest Martial Arts School in our area - and, with the help of Dr. Robyn's expertise, we will also be the leading Personal Development Centre as well!
We are thrilled to provide you with Dr. Robyn's Powerful Words resources! Let's work together to help all of our children achieve their most POWERFUL PERSONAL BEST!
