Dear Parent<\/strong>,<\/p>\n

If your parenting experience is anything like mine, I know you\u2019re struggling with many issues right now\u2026 Grades, bullying, learning issues, focus at school, drugs, negative influences, weight issues, poor self-esteem, low self-control, impulse control, and just play getting them to listen<\/em> to you!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

I\u2019m not trying to say I\u2019m an expert on parenting.. but what I am saying is that I am an expert on children \u2013 specifically, how to help kids become happier, more confident and more willing to make the right choices in difficult circumstances.<\/p>\n

Hi, I\u2019m Martin Patenaude,<\/strong> and I\u2019m the Senior Instructor at various Patenaude Martial Arts locations in Ontario and Quebec. At Patenaude Martial Arts, we\u2019ve been employing Fang Shen Do to help parents raise the happiest, healthiest kids on the block \u2013 for over 35 years<\/strong>. In that time, there are certain insights we\u2019ve discovered about how to help kids succeed \u2013 not just in school or at home, but in the very real arena of life.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve watched the testimonial video on this page<\/a> you\u2019ve seen for yourself the kind of feedback we get each and every week from parents just like you. These are real people with real kids facing the real issues we all know about\u2026 many of which I\u2019ve mentioned above. Although we certainly aren\u2019t miracle workers, we are very skilled and knowledgeable at what we do \u2013 which is helping you make life a little better and a lot safer for your child. Here\u2019s how we do it:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

    BUILDING CONFIDENCE BY SHOWING YOUR CHILD WHAT THEY ARE CAPABLE OF<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n

    \"ChildWhen your child first starts taking martial arts classes at a Patenaude school, they are immediately introduced to the concept of \u201cwork first, and rewards follow.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

    We don\u2019t make this obvious; it\u2019s actually a part of the way we teach our children\u2019s martial arts classes. Every child goes through a process of learning, demonstrating what they learn, and then earning recognition for their work and achievements.<\/p>\n

    Most children really have no idea what they\u2019re capable of, and it\u2019s our job to give them opportunities to break through their limitations. Once a child realizes their own vast potential, there\u2019s really no limit to what they can accomplish.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
