Yes it is to be honest ( I'm aware I present the activity as some kind of chore, its not, thats just my humor.)

To see them act on what is said or put into practice a concept is rewarding ... teaching is not my thing just now, not something I'm driving towards.

I consider myself a student now and for some time to come, but they see and respect my input and views which is nice ... even a surprise tbh!

It didn't come across in a negative way at all - apologies for any ambiguity there

Ive found that even after years of instructing, I still only ever feel like a student. Im not sure that ever changes really.

I have however learnt a lot about my own technique and mental fortitude through instructing the little ones!!!!! :D
