Parents are always looking to help out their kids when it comes to sports, hobbies or other areas of interest. However, when it comes to martial arts, more often than not, they just do not know what to do. In efforts to bridge the gap between the seats and the mat, the BAEPLEX Success Team created a Safe & Fun way for parents to engage with their children while learning to help. “Parents as Partners” is a special series of classes, workshops and community events designed to help families engage/practice with their children.
The benefits of parents practicing martial arts with their children extend well beyond the mat. The values of discipline, quality time, and family fitness become integral parts of the family dynamic and the Parents as Partners program. In Williamsburg, where community bonds are cherished, the practice of martial arts becomes a transformative experience that unites generations and strengthens the fabric of family life. As parents and kids embark on this shared journey, they not only cultivate martial arts skills but also build lasting memories and enduring connections that will resonate throughout their lives.
Quality Time is a precious commodity in today’s fast-paced world. Parents often find themselves juggling work, household responsibilities, and other commitments, leaving little room for meaningful interactions with their children. BAEPLEX provides the ideal setting for parents and kids to connect through these shared activities. Engaging in the Parents as Partners series provides a dedicated time and space for families to get away from screens and distractions. Parents as Partners provides Williamsburg’s families another way to discover the joy of supporting each other’s progress, celebrating achievements, and overcoming challenges as a united front.
Beyond the physical benefits, BAEPLEX takes great pride in fostering a more holistic approach to the Emotional and Mental well-being of it’s practitioners. In an era where screens and sedentary lifestyles are more common than ever, Parents as Partners provide families with a means to “actively” approach some of life’s most important lessons like:
- Believing in Oneself – “I-Can”
- Conflict Avoidance/Resolution
- Communication/Social Skills
- Teamwork and Leadership
Parents as Partners bring families together as part of a larger network, to share experiences, tips, and encouragement for the next generation of leaders. By practicing side by side, parents model for their children, demonstrating the importance of discipline and commitment. This shared experience creates a harmonious learning environment where individuals and families grow together. This sense of belonging not only enriches the journey but also creates a positive and inclusive environment for all members of the family.
BAEPLEX will be hosting two more upcoming Parents as Partners workshops in Williamsburg, Va.
- Mommy & Me Awareness Workshop in May
- Dads & Pads Workshop in June.
