Send us a textAs parents, we think we’re just watching class.But our kids are listening… closely.What you look for in training becomes their inner voice.And that voice follows them long after they step off the mats.This episode came from a quiet moment on a beach in Mexico…and it turned into one of the most important parenting lessons I’ve learned through martial arts.Instead of scanning for mistakes, I’ll show you how to use a simple filter that helps your child build real confidence, resilience, and courage over time.Inside this episode, you’ll learn:Why your attention shapes your child’s mindsetThe hidden danger of focusing on mistakesHow effort builds confidence faster than talentWhy mistakes don’t matter as much as recoveryThe three behaviours that actually predict long-term successThis isn’t about more rules.It’s about choosing better lenses as a parent.👉 Watch with this question in mind:What am I training my child to notice about themselves?🎥 Watch next:Life Skills Through Martial Artshttps://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLNG9pziJ_Tmu0SAoRn5_T9xSNAm2AsTcp&si=jnwiEufwxYd1ZeUp=============================📱 Subscribe to Off the Mat Podcast HERE:Apple → https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/off-the-mat/id1672160372Spotify → https://open.spotify.com/show/17JWPk4LPRAyiXkyPWxHrDAmazon → https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/5eb5541a-ddf9-48b8-870e-eaace60ff7c8/off-the-matGoogle → https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5idXp6c3Byb3V0LmNvbS8yMTEyODg1LnJzcw⏱️ Timecodes00:00 The beach lesson I didn’t expect00:38 What changes when you get closer01:12 Parenting works the same way01:48 Why kids hear mistakes louder02:04 The Three Shells filter02:10 Shell 1: Effort02:40 Shell 2: Reset03:12 Shell 3: Bravery03:42 The voice you’re creating📌 About Off The Mat PodcastWe help parents and martial artists raise strong kids through martial arts and mindset.Our mission is to share lessons on confidence, discipline, and character that last a lifetime… on and off the mats.STAY CONNECTEDWebsite → https://www.championtkd.caJosh → https://www.instagram.com/josh.dumoulin/Nicole → https://www.instagram.com/nicole99kicks/Email → championtkd15@gmail.comSTAY CONNECTED WITH USWebsite | www.championtkd.caJosh's Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/josh.dumoulin/Nicole's Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/nicole99kicks/Email | championtkd15@gmail.com WANT A ICE BATH FOR HOME?Website | www.nurecover.comUse COUPON CODE | JOSH66116
