Hi Lily,
Sounds like you have developed an educational philosophy that reflects the key idea of making the students a part of the learning process. Often instructors just teach content and not students. There is a key difference. By being aware of the learning environment and making it supportive, instructors can focus on the dynamics of learning rather than having to apologize for the setting.
You are on the right track in terms of exploring ways of keeping your students motivated and focused.
