Why do kids cry during kata? Freeze in sparring? Or, lose it when they forget their belt?

In this episode of The Okami Kai Chronicles, Scott Campsall explores The Whole-Brain Child by Dr. Daniel Siegel and Tina Payne Bryson. This is a must read parenting book recommended to him by Melody Johnson, founder and CEO of SKILLZ. You’ll learn how your child’s brain really works and how martial arts helps build emotional regulation, focus, and resilience.

Whether you’re raising a wild white belt or an anxious brown belt, this episode offers real tools, dojo tested strategies, and a fresh way to understand meltdowns, motivation, and everything in between.
