honest criticism is far more beneficial than flowery analogy. Young people of this era play high impact extreme video games see videos of real death and are way more exposed to the reality of the world. IF I say that someone sux i will always back it up with why. don't confuse this comment. i am not saying that everyone that comes for a lesson gets the extreme treatment, just some. It works for me and believe it or not they actually respond and develop because it is in a language they understand. Ever been around 12 to 15 year olds and see how they communicate. If the skateboarder on the video does something lame, the kidz don't say" gee that was a good try maybe next time he should do this" .. No they just say dude that guy sucked!!!!!

'Positive reinforcement' I believe is the technique discussed in this thread...
