Taking turns and sharing
At this young age, your students will be introduced to your style of martial art. Their classes have to be tailored to their age group. While basic non-offensive martial art techniques are great for 3 and 4 year olds, that's where you draw the line! These little ones need to learn the character traits to help them in school and "big kid" classes. Taking turns, patience and sharing are a great theme for a class!
