Procedures

1. Warming up by talking about youth problems

What is the biggest problem facing our youth today and what can we do to help fix it? Could someone offer his opinion?

I think the biggest problem with youth today is simple lack of respect, and not knowing what 'disappointment'means.

　　Gone are the days in the really young - where sports have a winning team and losing team...

　　I want my students to know what it's like to lose, even if they try their hardest. I want my children to know and understand the word 'disappointment'and 'frustration' -- instead of protect their "weak" egos.

　　Once these little people turn into adults, they won't function well in the real world without knowing how to cope with the downs as well as the ups.
