[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 343771, member: 6546"] Hello-- We tried Tae Kwon Do for our difficult child. The program had an excellent reputation and was really supposed to help kids with ADD and self-esteem issues. We thought it would be great. Unfortunately, it DID backfire for us. difficult child became an even bigger bully than before....AND she developed a strange sense of being "invincible" because she knew Tae Kwon Do. (As in, Well, I don't have to worry about strangers because I know Tae Kwon Do and I could just fight them.) I would say--you know your child best. If you have reason to think it will backfire...trust your gut. Go with gymnastics or something instead. The child can learn just as much discipline and a sense of achievement without the combat component. --DaisyFace [/QUOTE]
