The New York Shaolin Childrens Program is designed to be a relationship between the parent, the teacher and the child. A child under the age of 18 will be guided and monitored by the teacher and their parents. Parents are responsible for getting their child to classes 15 mins. early and making sure they practice at home. Without the parents participation in this three-way relationship the child will not learn properly. Children will also be able to attend the Sat at noon class to allow the children to see the example of discipline and concentration adults have, while adults can benefit from the childrens' energy and fast learning ability.Parents are encouraged to train with their children during class. When children see their parents practice it's a great role model.
