“A few extra seconds can make a BIG difference.”
Take a few extra seconds when responding to poor behavior. This demonstrates compassion, empathy, and self-control on your part. Sometimes all you need to do is think about responding in the most patient manner to help re-direct your child. When it comes to helping your child develop respect, security, and self-esteem, PATIENCE is the most important ingredient!
Please reply with a ❤️ if this message inspires you!

The Power of Yet
Within the growth mindset approach, Dr. Dweck coined the phrase “the power of yet.” The notion that adding the word “yet” to the end of a sentence that contains words such as “can’t,” “don’t,” and “doesn’t” can drastically improve the realization that skills can take time to achieve but that it is possible....

I don't think I have enough words to describe this place and people that works there. I think I run out of all the words about professionalism, kindness, discipline, goodness, priorities, politeness and etc. My daughter can't be more happy to be part of this wonderful, beautiful Zentai family a d me as a parent there is nothing more important than seeing your child enjoying every second of it. They even have Parents Night Out once a month and they have a lot of activities and fun for kids. Coaches are wonderful and so experience. My favorites are Miss Sol and Coach Rich but all of them are excellent. The owners- Miss Naomi and Master Allan are the nicest people that God ever dropped on this planet. Love it ,love it and love it.
Never stop improving! Amazing team training tonight.

Zentai has the best staff meetings! 😊😊😊
A study in the Journal of Experimental Social Psychology states that boredom causes us to look for activities to stimulate the reward centers of the brain. Since using devices increases dopamine, the neural connections for this increase, and our brains crave it more and more. The ability to let our minds wander is diminished and any moment that lacks stimulation makes us uncomfortable. And, unfortunately, our children are learning to satisfy these unpleasant feelings with technology.

Since physical activity is essential to brain development, neuroscientists have been urging parents and teachers to work on stimulating these good-feeling brain chemicals. By boosting these positive neurotransmitters, cortisol will be reduced leaving children with happier feelings, which develops clearer thinking and enhances attention skills.

Hello Zentai Family! Happy Friday! Check out our Child Development Blog about Childhood Fears:
"When parents see their child scared, they generally want to fix the problem. However, often the comforting is excessive and can be counterproductive to the child learning to self-regulate. Instead, Dr. Rachel Busman says that parents should provide their child with "the scaffolding they need to stand on their own." To do this, parents must be comfortable with their child being uncomfortable. Validating feelings initially is essential, but then it's time to move on and help them become braver through practice."

Coach Alexa began in our Zentai team as a volunteer in our summer camp. An honors student and fast learner, she’s quickly become such an important part of our team whether welcoming new students, designing our newsletter or making the best slime with our students during Parents Night Out!

"Today’s modern lifestyle has interfered with the opportunity for the parent-child bond to grow. This vital aspect of a child’s life is essential for their emotional cup to be full, giving them healthy self-worth and self-esteem. To fill their cup, children need quality connection time with their parents every day. When they receive this, children will develop healthy self-worth and self-esteem and, therefore, approach the world with more kindness and compassion"

Hello Zentai Family! Happy Friday! Check out our Child Development Blog, this week about Helping Children by Shifting our Mindset!
When children aren't living up to adults' expectations, it's important to remember that they are typically not doing it on purpose. By being mindful of developmental expectations, individual temperaments, varying learning styles, different personalities, etc., adults can play the role of detective. This will allow them to truly dig into what makes each child unique and how to help support them when things don't go as expected.
