I am a 25 year old instructor and I have a number of adult learners who are double my age. Many of them tell me they have kids that are older than me. Although I am confident in my ability and knowledge, they do not always feel the same way. Sometimes I get disrespected because I am supposed to be respecting my elders, so they expect me to give extra to them. How do you overcome age difference between instructor and student, let alone amoung students?
