As the last session with David, I decided to reward his "hard" work with a session of fun. So I let him watch a movie on my laptop, and he had to take notes on that and write a summary. This was quite easy for him to do since he liked action packed movies like any other kid his age would. I let him watch some clips of Fast and Furious 7. He enjoyed it more than I thought he would. Now, why would I show him such a violent movie? Well, if you've actually spent some time with David, he plays and watches so much more violent shows than that. So I didn't feel as if it weren't age appropriate either. However, I have noticed that with many kids his age now, they have become very desensitized to violent movies or derogatory music. I think that's just the change of social norms. As time goes on, more socially unacceptable things or behavior become more accepted (gays, women's rights, civil rights, and so on). Although, even after accepting all of these things, there were still social issues but at least now people had more control and freedom over their lives. The last thing I told his mother was that he has so much potential but he needs to learn to try and motivate himself to get his work done. Also, I told her about his love for computers or rather just video games. So, I suggested to her that he try and learn how to code. It's something that's become trending among kids his age. Many current computer programmers and large tech companies are making large strides in trying to reach as many kids as possible to teach them how to code. Coding is going to be such an integral part of our society in the future and I believe it's best that David starts young. That's only if he is interested in it though. Anyways, at the end of our conversation, his mother asked me if I could tutor him again before I leave. I couldn't help but say yes, she's too nice!
