Superchampz - a short parent report

That I am parent to a most negative teen is not something I wear as a badge of honour. 

In fact , I do not even know if I should tear my hair out as the once upon a time sweet angel erupts ever so often out of sheer stress.

Thought long and hard about it ah , but it took a post on facebook that said 

" Free Seminar " for me to sign up without blinking or even thinking.

Honestly , I did not know what to expect. What I did have was a little tiny window of hope. 

I googled , found a video and liked what I saw.

However, the protests began. Followed by the furrowed brows and indignant response to having a leisurely Sunday doing ABSOLUTELY NOTHING disrupted. 

" You are going to attend this. If you do not go ......"

Yes you see , it has boiled down to this.

This normally non Tigerish mum to a Lion cub turned into something else today.

Good , cub guard is down or so I thought. But just to be sure I asked , no , I stated in no uncertain terms that I expected the cub to be on the best behaviour today or elseeeeee. I will turn into a Pontianak just you wait and see. 

We walked past this banner without incident.

But by the time we went in , the" I don't care " demeanour and the " I'm only here because you forced me to " began.

We got Super Coach Aafinaz and boy , was she fantastic. In less than 3 hours , the walls broke down.....we understood a wee bit of why whatever we said never went through .

 We shed tears of laughter because she got her point across peppered with lots of bare knuckled humour.

For me , the most amazing thing happened when the kids demonstrated their memory power after such a ridiculously short training session.

A nine year old boy could recall 30 items backward and forward in the right order when I can't even remember my to do list with less than 5 items on it ! 

Maybe I need this coach ! 

The things these kids could recite on the spot is the stuff that makes Chinese moms scream at you to please take their money now  ! 

We started re-understanding one another. Had a lot of fun. Emerged from that room with a cub ready to be a Lion in the learning department. 

Tuition doesn't teach them these confidence building tricks. Some kids need just the right push from some remarkable mentors and the Super Coaches at Superchampz can be exactly what we parents AND kids need.
