I think in the church we often remember a lot of the admonish and teach each other instruction (well, we admonish and bitch, anyway :P), but not so much of the encourage and walk-the-path-with-each other instruction.<BR/><BR/>I've just been reading dad's Xmas present, a book called "101 Ingenious Kiwis", which featured (among others) a unique woman who worked on the theory you've outlined (focussing on the positive). She was a very creative educationalist and taught in the North Island, working mainly among poor Maori areas. She found that while the kids had enormous energy, they tended to have two vents (as they came from violent backgrounds): one very positive and creative, and the other very destructive. She focussed on bringing out the more creative vent and discovered by doing so, those kids spent more energy developing that and eventually the more negative and destructive vent became less and less used. So, it seems your theory has precedent and works well (at least with kids, so I'm sure it can be extended to others :P)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
