Preceived power

Calvin and Hobbes often have a situation that is reflective of my job as a teacher of the quite young and creative. The young people I work with try to gain power over situations they feel powerless in. As the older people we need to remember that it is important for them to feel the power and for it not to become a power struggle. How do we meet their needs and our needs without crushing spirit? How do we direct the over all situation and give them control of a part? Something to keep in mind.
