Is there anything special one should do/ not do when teaching rv to young teens?

Yes! The maximum attention span of (an American) teenager is approximately five minutes. Therefore, avoid all lectures, i.e., just do this:

"Put your pen on the paper and do everything I say -- ready?"

P.S. - The protocols for children are entirely different from those of TRV

I know all kids mature at different levels, what age can they start on the dvd? Or trv instruction?

Normally, 13-14. Those younger than 11 are best served with the children's protocols that I developed, years ago.

Note: In your own case and in that of your genetically disenfranchised ilk (cf. Dan Ellis), the maturation-developmental question re. your existing, prospective and/or unacknowledged ill-begotten spawn is problematic -- a 'learning curve' is nonexistent. Training could possibly begin somewhere around age 29-31, perhaps later. Both behaviorally and in terms of ratiocination, it's sort of a troglodyte paradigm thing (not to mention your unfortunate fate of simply being born under a bad moon).

In light of the above...I mean aforementioned (any actual 'light from above' left you in darkness), you could ultimately serve humankind if you decided to 'tie the knot' (you know what I mean, Norbert -- the 'other' knot...)

Reminder to self -- Don't patronize the students, Ed...don't patronize the students, don't patronize the students, don't patronize the students...

Last year, I taught two 11 year old kids who's English was their second language. I didn't tell them what it was and no DVD. Over a couple days, I just went over the word descriptor list for words they didn't know and quiz them for examples, and to memorize and recite the S2 sensory perceptions, and ideogram/body contact with the site lesson. Just as Ed says, just teach them the protocols, and then upon feedback, they realize how to do it.

Before I gave them the feedback, I asked them how they felt about heights and roller coasters, then showed them the feedback, and pointed at their feelings they wrote regarding the riders also. They liked it when they saw coordinating data with each other.

I have video of their reaction to the feedback, and I interviewed them "What would you say is someone asked what we did today?" and they said "Amazing things... Things you don't know..." (posing like the thinking man deep in thought)

You don't have to fight with kids to pry open a closed mind, vs. 'grownups.'

Don't worry, though -- the 'education system' and our 'culture' will soon fix that for them...
