In what ways should we be treating children differently from adults?

…and in what ways do we treat them differently? How about you, personally?

This question was sparked by a visit to the local pool. A “swimming instructor” was yelling at her protégés (aged about nine) in an attempt to teach them the backstroke. I was baffled at her constant belittling and threats, not to mention volume. Couldn’t help but wonder how she treats her adult students.
