“Everything is simple at a basic level.” Usik told how he raised his children
Ukrainian heavyweight Alexander Usik told how he raises children. The athlete and his wife Ekaterina have four children.
“It seems to me that children need to be forced to do some things until the age of 14-15. Because when they say give the child a choice, he will choose not to do anything.”
“With children, everything is simple: I help them. I must raise my children in such a way that when they reach adulthood, they can live without my help. Yes, I can be somewhere and help them. But so that they also have a job of their own.”
“We need to load them up, give them the language, educate them, travel. You definitely need to do that. Someone says: We can’t travel abroad. This is all nonsense. You can’t go abroad, but you can travel around the country because we have so many beautiful places. Just go somewhere where there is a river or something. The kids see that you are interested in something. I go to training with them, I talk, eat, drink, walk or just sit and watch how they communicate with each other, what they do. Tell them what interests them,” he said. Usik.
