Part 3.... .Some thoughts on ...
What makes a good teacher!
* Don't be afraid to give corrections. It is your responsibility as a teacher! Think about the priorities of your corrections.
* Get the base of the body (for - hip placement) right before worrying about how the head is held. (This is just a general rule - the overall picture is not to be forgotten).
* Teach age appropriate material. For example: young children have different muscle structure and their bodies look more baby-like, their abdominal muscles are not fully developed. They will find isolation of torso or other exercises using their abdominal quite hard. Or before the children can't exercise a good tendue (point the toes) to the front, don't teach a side tendue.
I am not saying you can't teach certain things ever (you could introduce them as a challenge) just reflect on the expectations you have of your students.
