The Punching Bag

When Kayleigh was having problems at primary school she was getting very frustrated and had alot of anger. The alleviate some of that, Terence bought Kayleigh a punching bag. Not a very lady-like piece of equipment but it suited the purpose. Terence spent hours with Kayleigh teaching her how to punch properly to not hurt her wrists and how to kick the bag. Terence even bought her a nice pair of pink coloured boxing gloves.

Kayleigh spent between 10 minutes to an hour a day taking her frustrations out on the bag. Her punches started get a bit of weight behind them as she learnt to 'punch through' the bag. I know when she punched her dad on the arms she bruised him a couple of times. The main aim of the bag was to get her to be less angry and it worked. Kayleigh learnt how to punch hard, kick with aggression but more importantly to take her frustration out on something that could handle it.
