Its a lot of fun to see our grandchildren participating in such events and learning the values of practice and discipline.
The best part in watching the video is that they are a team and all of them have to be equally dedicated for it to work. Points are deducted if one participant, even slightly, not fully in light with the rest!
It is said by many that connection and working with others is our purpose in this life. For sure, it's beautiful to watch and fills me with hope for our future leaders!
The best part of the experience is that the team is also developing a sense of balance about competing and that it's not the most important to be first.
Granddaughter Kirin comments: "The team that got second is unhappy that they didn't get first place. I like that we were so excited to be fourth place!"
