Each years set of questions are on separate paper. We, of course, allow room between questions for the YW to write her answers. We decorated the top corner of each paper with clip art (Beehives were teddy bears, Mia Maids were hearts, and Laurels were ribbons). We photo copied each page on value colored paper using all value colors (white were the leaders and the remainder colors were the YW questionaires.) As I said before, the birthday girl and the YW she chose to ready the questions and answers would stand in front during opening excercies and read the question and responses to the other girls. This was a way of learning about the birthday girl. She also received a minature figurine of a woman. The questionaire was completed the sunday before her birthday or at times, the sunday she was being spotlighted. The young women of our ward have really enjoyed being spotlighted with these questions as well as hearing how the other YW answer the questions.

I think they should be welcomed at church no matter what class they decide to attend on a particular week. Eventually I would think they would start to feel distanced from the younger YW and attend RS, or it coule be suggested that they be given a calling in YW or primary if they're still uncomfortable with RS. - - To unsubscribe to lds-yw, send an email to "majordomo@xmission.com" with "unsubscribe lds-yw" in the body of the message.

You can tell these girls are young leaders because they think that over 27ish is old!! I'm 53 going on 25 and keep up with the girls just fine! I also agree that the more mature women have a different perspective on some things and possibly more time, but not always. The program is the same and letting the girls plan and carry out activities has no relationship to how old their leaders are! No need to be mothering the girls in this respect!

This sounds like a CES produced video that we use in seminary. It is a very powerful video. BUT the CES videos that are used in seminary are not to be used anywhere but in seminary. They want the kids to be able to get the full impact of the videos as they are used in the lessons at seminary. If they have already seen the video somewhere else the impact in not as great.

I agree, having served both as a "YOUNG" leader (called to be Beehive advisor when I was 20) and now as an "OLDER" (37 I know not that old but more experienced) leader and having two teenage daughters of my own. I feel I had things to contribute at both times in my life that were good for the girls. But I have to say that as an "OLDER" leader and having the experience of living with teenagers, I think that I have more patience and am a better counselor to the YW, I am able to see daily the struggles that the youth today face today, because I can see it both from the YW view but also the view of their parents. I think this helps me to "Turn the hearts of the YW to their parents" because I can talk to the girls and understand their struggles but also I can explain the struggles that we as parents have in being parents because I am going or have gone through the things their parents are. Also I think that we are LEADERS FIRST yes the girls will consider us a friend but we have a responsibility to be an example and a leader. The girls have lots of friends, they need to see us as a role model someone they respect and want to emulate. When I was a YOUNG leader the girls all called me by my first name and it was fine with me. But now that I am and OLDER leader, I feel it is important for the YW to call us by "Sister----" and as a parent I want my girls to call their leaders by "Sister----" I want their leaders to be their leaders and not just "ONE OF THE GIRLS" Our Youth need righteous role models and who better to fill that role then their leaders. Sorry this is so long but I think righteous women at any age (I worked with a 65 year old women who was the Laurel advisor and she was WONDERFUL with the girls) are a blessing in the lives of our youth.

I was going to just slink back into my rocker and quietly ponder this... But since you've "revealed" you too are older than dirt... Well, just for the record.. My presidency is 45(me), 45(counselor) and 24(counselor)... our advisors are 35 and 53 respectfully... Only one of us have YW in the program... And I have more "umph" , enthusiasm and energy than all 12 of our active girls put together! (which I am reminded of constantly by them!) :-) I must confess I started late in life with my family and have a 6 and 11 year old ... which keeps me on my toes. Our 24 year old leader (married and mother of 2 1/2 children) is often mistaken at Stake events as one of the YW and she can't command any respect for herself as a teacher or leader(she teaches her BeeHive class...there are only 3 girls) Even at camp, the girls won't listen to her. They love her, but she's just "Amy" to them...just another girl. It is very hard for her. She loves being in the program, but doesn't know how to be friends yet be a leader too. Any suggestions would be great. I'll just get my walker and slowly make my way to my recliner for awhile... :-) - ---------- > From: Ricki Edwards > To: 'lds-yw@lists.xmission.com' > Subject: RE: (lds-yw) Content-Type: text/plain -Reply > Date: Monday, August 17, 1998 10:14 AM > > All right now, I feel discriminated against.
