i think that you all must like your jobs because it sounds like you are all good at it and are willing to help the kids and even learn your selfs and it is true that if you teach faster than they can muck around or do anything bad then they have hardly anytime to think but they will think about wat they are about to do so well done guys and i hope you all have fun in gymnastics and i might just be a teenager myself but i do know wat i am talking about in saying thanks because you have all taught me that gymnastics isnt just a sport but a very fun thing aswell so thanks alot for everything:)

Several hours of “little maniacs” can surely make you appreciate a quiet glass of wine and time to watch “Love Actually,” or some other “chick” flick!

I always found that contests that tired them out near the beginning allowed at least a small amount of breathing room… and contests in general… boys love anything to do with contests, and you can get a lot of mileage out of a piece of candy or even the “sceptre of Power” that goes to the winner of the contest (until the next contest, when someone else wins and takes it away. Gice them a cheesy wand to parade around, and let them be first in line while they have it (provided they don’t misbehave, and lose their sceptre and the associated privelidges) and every boy in the class will vie for the honor, in any contest you name.

Keep them moving and they will not have time to dream up ways to cause trouble. Fighting, for example.

My Plan of Attack when going into a boys class is to move faster than they do in order to keep their attention and keep them moving.

How many years will I be able to keep this up I wonder.
