Local Personal Development Center helps
Kids, Teens & Adults in West Hempstead to Develop COURAGE in September!
“Courage is the strength to dictate and
star in your own story rather than allowing fear to take the leading role.” -- Dr. Robyn Silverman – Popkin-Brogna’s Child Development Expert
September
2015 is Courage Month as part of Popkin-Brogna ’s Powerful
Words Character Development program! All students will be studying, developing
and experiencing powerful life lessons focusing on understanding the importance
of the willingness to face fears and challenges with determination. In addition
to all of the physical skills that they'll be working on this month, students
will be discussing and practicing the following concepts both in and out of
class:
·
Courage defined: What does courage mean? What are people scared
of?
·
Taking healthy risks: How can I try new things & commit
to one tough task?
·
Courage & Values: How can I stand up for what I think is
right and fair?
·
Keeping Control: How can I calm myself down and make good
choices?
“Courage is not the absence of fear, as many children
might think. Rather, courage is how we cope with fears in the face of
challenge. As parents and mentors, it’s
important that we let children know that everyone gets scared sometimes. It’s
how we cope with those fears that show our level of courage” says Dr. Robyn Silverman, Popkin-Brogna Jujitsu
Center's child &
adolescent expert, and creator of the Powerful Words Character Development
system used at the facility.
Howard Popkin, Sensei of Popkin-Brogna Jujitsu says, "Developing courage is vitally important
here at our facility. Courage helps our
students to tackle skills they never would have tried, and build their
confidence so they realize that they truly are in control of their own destiny.
I’m confident that this life skill will prove valuable to them, at our academy,
in school and of course in “the real world!”
We’re all excited to see the positive impact that this month’s Powerful
Words Curriculum has on our students as well as on our entire community. That’s what it’s all about for us and we take
this very seriously.
It’s
a pleasure seeing our community recognized as a place with Powerful Character,
and seeing our students lead the way! As this community’s premier Powerful
Personal Development Center, we take this responsibility very seriously. We’re
thrilled to help our students and our community to thrive and succeed, and Courage
month is going to help us to do just that.”
Popkin-Brogna Jujitsu’s
strong curriculum and the Powerful Words Character Development system provide
our students with the opportunities to become UNSTOPPABLE in life. These
lessons will remain with our students for life and we're honored to help them
achieve the success that they deserve” says Popkin.
Howard Popkin is the Sensei of Popkin-Brogna Jujitsu and has helped thousands of kids, teens, and adults to
embrace a positive and healthy lifestyle.
