A hospital stay is stressful for anyone, but it can be especially hard on a child too young to understand why they hurt or a teenager old enough to be concerned about their own mortality. However, friends and family can help relieve the strain and boredom of a young person’s time in the hospital in a variety of ways.
First, call a family member or a nurse on the child’s ward to ask a few questions. The questions to ask are:
· Is the child ready for visitors?
· What are visiting hours? Are some times better to visit than others?
· Are there any limits to the child’s mobility?
· Are there any dietary restrictions?
· Is there something in particular the child needs or would like to have?
Texting has become a frightening obsession for many young people and has seemingly become their primary means of communication with their friends and even family. They live in a world where everything has to be relayed instantly and without the need to raise a voice or look someone in the eye.
Two teenagers in the same room, the same class, the same train will think nothing of sending one another a text to let each other know how they are feeling, where to meet or what they did the night before – not giving a it a second thought that they could just as easily greet one another with a friendly smile and speak to each other.
It has become socially unacceptable for teenagers not to own a mobile phone. They communicate with one another on a level that has created a sub culture and a language which can only be understood by them. Having said that, twenty or so years ago, teenagers had their own sub language in the spoken form anyway because teenagers need to set themselves apart from their elders and exist in a world which is exclusive to them.
Now, even text language has evolved and divided into sub languages over the last ten years. What was once ‘cool’ to type on text or email is now just ’so last year’ and it has moved on. There are levels of texting within texting and it has developed into its own language with its own etiquette.
Stage 4. Routine – Once you develop your class strategies its now time to increase the speed. Think of it like learning a song. At first you need to work out the parts of the song. If it is an unfamiliar or difficult chord progression you may need to think about the best position and fingering. This can be compared to ‘Class Strategies’. From then on its about increasing the speed. By setting a routine your students know what to expect. This saves time explaining therefore your classes gain momentum. A 30 minute group class with a seasoned pro is like a private hour lesson with most other teachers. Its like comparing a 30 minute pump class at the gym to spending an hour moving from one machine to another with lots of breaks and pointless conversations with other gym members. The sheer pace of the class keeps students focused for 30 minutes. This then conditions them for their only daily practice.
Using text language means that teenagers are losing their ability to communicate effectively and articulately with others of all age groups and retain information for any length of time because they are no longer required to. Why retain something that is at your predisposal on a saved artificial memory? Learning the basic skills of life in the forms of literacy, numeracy, communication and the art of social interaction seem to be less and less fashionable and worryingly considered less and less important. What a shame that it is only like to become worse before it becomes any better
