In reply to the discussion: Taking a break from Sesame Street, remember The Electric Company?... [View all]HopeHoops
(47,675 posts)55. My daughters (17, 19, 21) all started around 3 1/2 - 4. They're all 2nd degree black belts now.
I don't worry about them all that much. They can hold their own. My wife's trained in El. Ed and Early Childhood (M.S.) and teaches pre-school karate. It's amazing what a 3 year old can accomplish with a good teacher. She just left to teach that class and then (in an hour) teaches the regular higher-belt classes. My middle daughter runs the demonstration team even though some of the members out-rank her. In THAT setting, she's the master. My wife used to do that but decided she'd rather sleep in and have Irish cream (the good type) in her coffee. Sometimes you have to pass the torch.
And yes, I do remember that scene.

No problem. My TV window is pretty much 1967 to 1978, with SNL being the residual.
