Question

【题目】 My daughter, 15, has been in karate (空手道) since the first grade, and has been in high honor and gifted classes. My 11-year-old son, Tom, for years would fight with me over everything. If I said the sky was blue, he would say it was black. For years he was falling several subjects. We took games away, then TV and finally the smart phone; we tried a reward program, but nothing worked long. He would bring a grade up to get all his things back, and then go back to where he had been.

My daughter told me one day to bring him to her karate class, and maybe life in the martial arts (武术) would help him turn around. At first he didn't like it because he had to ask for permission to do everything and he had to say "yes, sir" and "no, sir" for everything. He even had to respect his sister because she was of a high level. So he wanted to stop. However, my husband told my son, "If I can do this at the age of 40, so can you." And since then my husband would learn martial arts three or four times a week with them.

My son learned so much about a better way of living: respecting others, following the rules, and above all, respecting himself. I am proud to say both of my kids are now high honor students, and we could not be closer than we are.
