Quick! Quick! Quick, listen, look, learn!

Slow down, slow down, slow down,

wait until your turn;

be slow to use your tongue

and slow to lose your temper#,

be quick to choose your time,

and “Who is whose?” remember.

# My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry, ...  James 1:19 NIVUK

Teaching in informal situations

How do I move from being a “teacher”, teaching a class, where I have been asked to teach, to teaching an individual, when that IS appropriate (because it isn't always, is it?)?

“Even teaching a five-year-old how to do an A chord and teaching a 50-year-old how to do an A chord will be done in different ways, with different words, and different modelling, and different amounts, and ways, of talking about it. You have to monitor the situation to see another person's level and what they can intake and how they approach it and how they can take it in cos that then sets the boundaries of what you can give, and how to give it, and in what sort of clothing, or how it's wrapped up.” Spencer C., Wed 6 Feb 2019.

The key to Spencer's insight seems to be that word “monitor” , which has a major component of “listening, looking, observing, thinking about the fitness of the situation to some information or strategy, or mechanism.

God, thank you for helping me see how to ask good questions this morning and this arvy. Please help me to keep on learning, and practicing that now too.
