| Mark A. Ittleman The Teaching of Talking |
As many of you know we are pursuing research at a major University in Southern California and teaching graduate students The Teaching of Talking Method. I have to walk about a mile from where my car is parked to the building where the speech clinic and lecture halls are.
I was walking to class_ the other day and the fellow in the picture above was walking directly in front of me, listening to his headphones, dancing and jiving as if there was no one else in the whole world!

| Free of ridicule or criticism |
And it did not matter a bit to him who was or wasn’t watching. He was doing his own thing in his “own world.”
As I walked behind him, my first inclination was to be critical of this guy who was dancing and singing to himself as others watched with amusement. However that though changed in a second, as I also realized how wonderful it is that we are free to do as we wish in this society, and not fearing ridicule, or the criticism of others. So my initial, knee-jerk sarcasm changed immediately to one of respect and admiration!
And there’s the rub! We know there will always be others who will be very quick to criticize us for what we are doing or the approach we are taking in our lives.
If you believe what you are doing with your loved one or clients to help them speak better is working for you, please continue on with your pursuit.

In the meantime, Dance to the Beat, and pursue whatever methods you believe are truly helpful for better speaking.
