  • Four Benefits of Pursuing Your Potential by John C. Maxwell

    Four Benefits of Pursuing Your Potential by John C. Maxwell (Here’s a short excerpt from an article by best-selling author and leadership expert John C. Maxwell. Enjoy!) • Higher self-esteem. People who are constantly learning and growing have a good self-image. • Willingness to change and risk. One of the obvious evidences of growing people is that they are constantly changing and risking. Show me a person who doesn’t change, who doesn’t risk, and I’ll show you a person who’s not growing. • Passion increases. When we begin to grow personally, our passion for life and learning begins to increase proportionately. • Lifting ....

  • Encourage Growth Discussions with Children

    Promoting Growth Mindset: Growth discussions emphasize the idea that abilities and intelligence can be developed through dedication and hard work. This contrasts with a fixed mindset, which suggests that traits are innate and unchangeable. By fostering a growth mindset, children are more likely to embrace challenges, persist in the face of setbacks, and see effort as a path to mastery. Building Resilience: Growth discussions teach children to view failures and mistakes as opportunities for learning and growth rather than as indicators of incompetence. This resilience is crucial for navigating life's challenges and setbacks with confidence and determination. Fostering Self-Awareness: ....

  • Nurturing Sibling Independence

    Sibling relationships play a pivotal role in shaping one's independence. From shared experiences to conflicts, siblings navigate a unique terrain of learning and growth. While often seen as a unit, fostering independence within sibling dynamics is crucial for the development of individual identities. To start, siblings offer a safe space for experimentation and self-discovery. As they interact, they learn to assert their preferences, negotiate conflicts, and develop their sense of self. Unlike other relationships, siblings provide a constant presence, allowing individuals to explore their interests and personalities within the familiarity of family support. Moreover, sibling ....

  • School is for Education and Eduaction Only

    A high school student in New Jersey recently noticed a political bias in her Advanced Placement (AP) US History class, which is concerning, particularly in a left-leaning state like New Jersey. I believe schools should offer unbiased learning, allowing students to form their own opinions. However, I've observed a tendency in our state's education system toward a liberal perspective, potentially influencing student beliefs. Firstly, all history teachers I've encountered in my school appear to be liberal, often sharing personal opinions on political matters like taxes. They use derogatory language to describe Republican presidents while portraying Democratic presidents more favorably. Such ....

  • Chase Your Passion (Not Your Pension)! by Denis Waitley

    First and foremost, I want to extend my heartfelt gratitude to all of you who dedicate your valuable time to reading our blogs. Your support means the world to us. We sincerely apologize for our absence yesterday on Valentine's Day; we missed connecting with you. However, without further ado, let's jump right back in and delve into another captivating topic. When our youngest daughter, Lisa, achieved her master's degree, the elation she felt was likely rivaled by that of her parents. As we stepped into the sweltering stadium for the commencement ceremony, the realization dawned on me that after putting seven children through college and graduate studies, I would finally be able to secure ....

  • A Tale of Two Childhoods

    The 1980s and 1990s were marked by a sense of simplicity and freedom in childhood experiences. Children of this era spent much of their time outdoors, engaging in imaginative play and exploration. Street games like hopscotch, hide and seek, and tag were popular pastimes, fostering social interaction and physical activity. Backyards and neighborhood parks served as vibrant playgrounds, where children could climb trees, build forts, and unleash their creativity in unstructured environments. Moreover, the entertainment landscape of the 80s and 90s was characterized by analog technologies and communal experiences. Saturday morning cartoons and after-school specials were eagerly anticipated ....

My son has been attending Peak Performance’s summer camp and after school curriculum since June and we both love it. Master Schill and the team stress the importance of discipline and hard work while maintaining a positive and encouraging environment in order to ensure the students learn life skills they’ll need for a bright future. Students earn belt stripes based on homework completion, reading, chores as well as practicing martial arts at home. Not only does Master Schill work with the students, but he communicates with the parents and makes sure everyone is on the same page and understand what the kids are being taught during their time there. My son has thrived here and I can’t wait to see what else he learns. I’ve recommended Peak Performance anytime after school programs come up.

Highly recommended.  Peak Performance’s attitude towards raising strong children mirrors our own.  We appreciate the cooperative support of the staff in helping shape who they will grow up to become.  I have two girls, ages 7 and 11, who have been going to Peak Performance for several years.  They may not always look forward to the physical exertion 😅, but I can tell, they are more confident, more disciplined, and more athletic as a result of being a part of the martial arts classes.  They are proud of how high they can kick and regularly show me the forms and personal protection moves they are learning.  We have developed personal relationships with the staff and trust them with our children’s lives.
