Something that has taught our son many life skills has been martial arts. He has learned so many things besides self-defense. He has learned seniority because belts are by rank. The longer, harder someone works, the higher they are ranked. Respect is earned. Every goal has steps to get there and builds upon the last. It's also not academic, so a PG kid can't blow through. It takes time, dedication and good coordination. It's just a suggestion that has worked well for us.
