OK me and my wife are having a serious argument about our 7 year old daughter. She has been going to gymnastics at the local Y for a couple of years but she told me recently she would rather take the martial arts class they offer there. The class is a good mixture of both boys and girls and the childrens classes are seperate from the adult classes. The instructor is a young ldy about 25 who is a 3rd degree Black Belt ans sem to really enjoy working with the kids. She stresses that what they are taught is only to be used for self defence, and she talks to them about setting goals, self disipline. I think this would be good for my daughter but her mother doesn't agree she says it's just teaching them to fight period!! is there anyone out there that can give her some good examples of why she should change her mind?
She says she will go by the majority rulling as to wether or not to let our girl take the classes.

Ok basically he is 13, he has some friends that she would rather he not hang around with. She feels they dont have respect for other peoples stuff or people in general, swear alot and one of em turned up drunk at the house one day etc. So up till now she has banned him from hanging out with them when not at school. However all his friends hang out at the same place so this means basically that he cant see them either as these kids are also there. He is also shy at making new friends so its not like you can tell him to go find new friends away from that circle of friends.Shes afriad these kids that she percieves as bad may lead him astray as peer pressure may get to him. However he is really down and he is starting to feel resentfull towards his mum as this ban stops him seeing his other mates too. He feels he should be given chance to show he is reliable etc and wont do anything wrong. So do you think this ban should continue or is she being over protecitve??????
