When it comes to motivating younger students in the classroom, sometimes they just need to have little more fun in their exercises. The quicker they realize they are no longer "working" they work even harder. As soon as the attention is off of making everything correct, they can be corrected. Kids that tend to live and train in an environment that is negative based, will always grow up thinking about what's wrong, instead of what's right. If kids live and train in a positive environment, with praise, they will see things from a positive standpoint.
Building kids from the inside out, is probably the key ingredient in making champions for life. While having a student understand the importance of being able to defend themselves, it's far more important that they understand how valuable they are, and how much they can accomplish in life, as a martial artist.
