[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As someone who just finished working with a group of kids right out of college let me say that it will be a while before many of them are ready to take on any type of leadership role. Many (not all) are entitled, think everything should be dropped in their lap, and they give up too easily. They also don't like to listen to advice about how to self-correct when they are heading into the danger zone. Quite are few are awful at communication: They wear their emotions on their sleeve, they don't speak with respect (saying "what" instead of excuse me I didn't hear you, pardon, or can you please repeat that),  and not speaking/acknowledging you when they see you. I read something recently that said parents remember that when you are done raising your kids remember they still have to go out into the world. The "real" world might not tolerate the same behaviors that you do so prepare your children to be able to interact with people of different backgrounds, races, ethnicities, religions, etc. Otherwise when reality hits them upside the head they will be sent into a whirlwind.

And this is why they need to fall flat on their faces.  Let them make mistakes and retrain them.

It's how they'll learn.[/quote]
