This kid worked so hard for 8 months. There were days he didn't want to go to class and I had to encourage him. Yesterday he tested and nailed it. When they called his name and he walked up to get that belt his face was pure joy and confidence. Already talking about testing for the next one. This is what it's all about.
Dude that's incredible. The fact that you kept encouraging him on the days he wanted to quit says everything about what kind of dad you are. He's gonna remember that forever.
Dude yes! We went through karate with our oldest and watching them work through the frustration and then nail the belt test is such a dad moment. Your kid is going to remember that forever.
This right here. My gymnastics kid had the exact same thing where she wanted to quit like three times. These moments teach them more than just the skill.
Eight months of showing up when he didn't want to is huge. That's you teaching him what commitment actually looks like. Orange belt is awesome but the real win is him learning to push through.
That's awesome! Getting a kid to stick with something they don't always want to do is huge. Orange belt is legit. You should be proud of yourself too for pushing him to keep going.
Eight months of getting him there even on the hard days... that's the real win right there. You're teaching him perseverance.

That's a real achievement for a 5 year old. Not just the belt but learning that hard work pays off. You showing up for him every single time even when he complained is what made the difference.
