Kids and the Alexander Technique: Live

My good friend Suzanne Duncanson mentioned to me the other day that she had taught Alexander Technique to children some. My ears pricked up!

"Well, not lots and lots...but I do like working with children" was her cautious reply...as my mind began racing and she no doubt realised her mistake.

I tend to draw people to interviews these days based on what other people recommend or on topics that I want to know more about. Selfish? I hope my conversations with Michael Gelb, Steven Shaw, Jeremy Chance, David Gorman, Michael Frederick, John Nicholls and Glenna Batson to name a few have whet your appetite for more, it sure has mine. (check out the recordings in the Audio Archive. A free or paid subscription is necessary to access them)

Suzanne has worked with many more kids than I have and the fact that she likes doing it tells me she has it down to a fine art. I can imagine that the tide can turn against you very quickly with children and if you're not liking the rollercoaster of keeping their attention you'll be disliking the process thereafter!

Suzanne is a STAT member and has been teaching since 1995 in Norwich and Worstead. Her manner is so relaxed that our so-called interview is going to be more of a morning tea break (for UKers) and a relaxing break on the couch for Aussies.

Due to the time difference this time, you'll have to be up real early in New York (5am). Sorry! Have to give the other part of the world some good times too you know.

So, how do we connect with children?

If we are NOT teaching kids...are we really making a difference for the future of mankind?

Would FM be impressed with our progress getting this work into the psyche of the young...and if not, how can we?
