OT: Younger Son promotes to 1st degree Black Belt

[Guest guest]

Off topic but soooo proud of younger son who spent 5 hours at Black

Belt testing and passed. It is a complicated testing. He struggles

with the board breaking part because he has difficulty being very

physically forceful, and you need to break 5 boards in a row with a

different technique for each break. Today he did wonderfully. He is

10.

For those wondering about what is possible...there is always tomorrow

and whatever problem is going on today may very well be a distant

memory in the future.

>>> YAY for younger son!!!!!!!!!! Black belt? Wow. I'm impressed.

Thanks. It is pretty exciting.

You know, the boys are the ones in TaeKwonDo classes and getting

black belts, but Mike and I are just exhausted!

All those classes, practicing moves, promotions, community projects,

and back and forth to the lumber store getting wood for board

breaking....I think parents/caregivers need to keep in mind what a

toll these activities and therapies are on themselves.
