Private Lessons: Thank You and OK!

I do these Japanese private lessons. After a few months of doing this kind of thing for the first time, I may just be beginning to get the hang of it. Why? Because I'm realizing it's just all about flow. Just moving forward, playfully. Thickhead I am, for too long I was walking in these apartments and trying to TEACH them. But it turns out they teach themselves if you flow flow flow with it. I'm not all that naturally great with little kids - I'm the younger of two brothers and was never very close with any of my young cousins. So it's all learning on the job. Luckily, kids are kids...they don't hold grudges, think over anything, or consider the finer points of pedagogy and/or your failure to live up to any of them. Got a long way to go and it took me many, many weeks to get here but I'm beginning to feel basically comfortable with this kind of thing.
