  • The Power of Predictability

    The Power of Predictability

    As hectic as life is most days, parents are often more concerned with getting everything done instead of strategically planning out their day so that it is predictable for their children. Knowing what activities to expect each day and knowing how parents will respond at the moment is critical in helping children feel safe. The consistency in this will ease children's moods and minimize the chances of a meltdown. Therefore, parents should establish predictability in their daily routines to ensure children have the best chances of a successful day. When children are unsure of what to expect daily, they often become more anxious and, therefore, demanding their parents' time. Stress ....

    Supporting Big Feelings and Self-Regulation

    “I see you, I hear you, I feel you!” Two weeks ago, my oldest son was preparing for a new session of hip hop classes to officially begin! He was just about bursting at the seams with joy and excitement as he could not wait to get back to the hard beats and sweet jams he had come to love in his previous session of enjoyment. You see, his last session of dancing was a huge, big deal! Being on the Autism Spectrum, my boy trying hip hop was a new and exciting physical, mental, emotional and social experience for us all. My husband and I had to become attuned alongside our son to supporting him in a new space and learning environment, with a new teacher, new friends and ....

    Using Positive Language with Kids: A Guide for Parents of Young Children

    Our words have a powerful influence on our children's development, especially in their early years when they are forming their sense of self and learning how to navigate the world. Positive language isn’t about avoiding boundaries or discipline—it's about guiding behavior in a way that builds confidence, fosters connection, and encourages self-awareness. Here are some simple strategies for replacing commonly used phrases with positive, impactful language that empowers your child and reinforces their emotional well-being. 1. Reframe Behavior Expectations Positively When a child misbehaves, it can be tempting to label the behavior as “naughty” or use ....

  • The Benefits of Game Based Learning

    The Benefits of Game Based Learning

    Play is often overlooked as a learning tool for children. Dictionarey.com defines play as “engaging in activity for enjoyment and recreation rather than a serious or practical purpose.” It is seen as a type of “free time” when nothing else important is happening. However, this couldn’t be further from the truth. For 3 to 4-year old’s, play is vital to their overall development and learning. Children between the ages of 3 and 4 years old are growing physically, intellectually, emotionally, and socially, at a very rapid rate. They are discovering new things daily and are attempting to navigate the world with very little information and abilities. Because ....

  • Playful Connection - Filling Your Child's Cup

    Playful Connection - Filling Your Child's Cup

    Over the years, healthy connection levels between parents and children have decreased, leading to more challenging behaviors from children. Today's modern lifestyle has interfered with the opportunity for the parent-child bond to grow. This vital aspect of a child's life is essential for their emotional cup to be full, giving them healthy self-worth and self-esteem. To fill their cup, children need quality connection time with their parents every day. When they receive this, children will develop healthy self-worth and self-esteem and, therefore, approach the world with more kindness and compassion. The "emotional cup" metaphor created by Upbility, publishers of therapy resources, asks ....

White Tiger Karate, LLC Facebook five star review -

⁠White Tiger Karate LLC in Franklin is honestly the best I've seen for kids. Experts in Child Development, the focus is on the whole person. Body, mind and spirit. The kids get a work out but wow do they all seem so proud of themselves and their new found abilities. The owner/instructor, Sharyl Geisert, is unbelievably great working with the kids. She teaches structure and self control, listening and obedience that builds the kids up with a sense of pride and honor in themselves. I am so amazed everytime I go there. What an excellent program they have for kids. I can't say enough about this amazing place. It certainly builds kids self confidence and self esteem. The kids just beam. If your at all looking for a positive and meaningful outlet/program for your child, go visit. Go watch. Talk to Sharyl or another instructor. This is all about the whole person and being the best of oneself. It's so worth it. Check it out and its website. Recommend to others. Your kids deserve the best. It certainly can change lives for the better; in body, mind, and spirit.

Positive: Communication, Professionalism, Quality, Value

My girls started at White Tiger at the end of August after doing dance, gymnastics and softball and wanting to try something new. The ninja zone program has built their confidence tremendously over the last several months. We have seen growth in them both not only physically but also mentally. I can’t thank Sensei Sharyl enough for the time she puts into encouraging, motivating and pushing them both safely outside of their comfort zone at times knowing their capabilities. I cannot recommend White Tiger enough. If you are on the fence of trying martial arts or ninja zone give it a try. It is far more than just a physical sport, she works with every aspect of growth development for children and adults. Thank you Sharyl!

Quality programming

Finding quality programming for my son is a challenge, but after meeting Sensei Sharyl and feeling her love and passion for Skillz and child development I know we are in good hands! Sensei has touched the lives of many people in this community and it is an honor to call myself a member of the White Tiger Karate family. Her program is so much more than just martial arts—it really focuses on showing kids how to be the best people they can be through a tailored program to meet their developmental needs.
