Swimming at the lake or beach is always fun. Stressful would be making sure everyone is staying hydrated and not getting heat stroke.

No school for kids in the summer is the most fun! All of the plans and long hours can make the summer stressful.

Water safety - swim ability of children

its 100% of the time, that they are trying to get needs met

they needed some emotional support

They are hungry, tired, sad, etc.

Attention from staff and members

During program transition. Either no clear expectations or transition taking too long

Typically I see attention seeking behavior. THey aren't getting it from home or teachers

perhaps angry about something and getting nehavior

bored, transitions, idle waiting time

incorporating their needs into the structure of the program

communication

focus our schedule on their needs

everyone stay consistant

emotional support, attention, trying to prove a point to their peers

Voice of opinion not being heard/understood

showing off with a group of peers in who is stronger then who. Wanted more attention and a healthy challenge

consistency

give them voice and choice

feeling isolated

no freinds

offer emotional support and other options for those that need it

Attention

friends

Set Expectations at beginning of year with signs to further drive home the point around your areas

Consistent communication and allowing them the space to communicate

Structure and Clear Limits : routines check ins and reflecctions

We need to always have choices for them, clearly define/explain the expectations

support, listen

implementing rules that are equal for all children

Creating an environment in which the child feels safe enough to express their feelings in a healthy way and modeling the healthy ways to express these emotions

definitely bored, attention, support

Stay aware and observe club members to be sensitive to what you may see in their behavior or interactions with other kids.

Give members the opportunity to communicate their needs

What kind of routines can you put in place to meet the physical, safety, belonging and esteem needs of youth?How can you adjust your physical space to meet the physical, safety, belonging and esteem needs of youth?What kind of rules will you establish to meet the physical, safety, belonging and esteem needs of youth? How will you reinforce them?

isnt this Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs?

Talking with them, asking about their day

How do we help them balance between interacting, but yet still supervising

actively involved

moving around the room doing daily check ins

They are their group's hype machiene

you have to use the eyes in the back of your head

get them started in a game, then step away

Constantly keep moving

encouraging during activities while not actively participating

keeping your feet moving and keeping your head on a swivel

Put yourself in a place where you can see the whole room

keep your head on a swivel. You should still be scanning the room.

stagger staff around the space in the midst of the kids and not clumped together in "adult" groups

I have ayouth jump in the game for me

use proper zoning and positioning

Be in vocal contact with all members at some point so they know you are watching and able to help them

its about making sure everyone is having a good time and being engaged

Let other kids know you might have to step away to help kids in the room

Clear boundaries

Staying consistant

Every day is a new day

no one spoke in my group and I don't have a mic

Safety ScenariosAs you are reviewing these safety scenarios, we are only looking for solutions on preventing the situations from occurring in the future. We will say that all the youth and staff involved received the appropriate emotional support and follow up.Scenario #1Deneen is a 15-year-old member who has been attending the Club for many years. Jon is a 16-year-old who just enrolled in the summer program. The Unit Director gets a visit from Deneen's mother who said that another mom called her about rumors that Deneen had started to engage in sexual activity. When pressed, Deneen (Deni) admitted that she had started to fool around with a guy called Jon. When asked how, when, where and what, Deni said it was Jon's idea that they both say they had to go to the bathroom, then meet in the gym and hide under the bleachers. (The Club had bought heavy vinyl bleacher covers specifically to keep members from crawling under the bleachers. Deni admitted to meeting Jon three times during the summer.)

I have another meeting now, an dI need to go....sorry

Scenario #2During your summer program you have 3 different age groups, ages 6-7, 8-9, & 10-12. Your site has a policy to send 1 youth to the restroom at a time. Each age group has a bathroom pass. Staff practice is to radio when someone is using the restroom but staff don’t consistently do this practice.You happen to walk past the bathroom during the second rotation and see 8-year-old Anthony standing at the door, telling you that you can’t enter. When you knock on the door and say “Adult entering” you see 7-year-old Brandon and 12-year-old Trevor in the restroom. It was clear to you that Anthony was set out to prevent others from using the restroom.You see that all three boys have their bathroom passes.How might this situation have been prevented? Are there any changes the Club might consider now to prevent or reduce such incidents?Applying what we discussed today, what structure & clear limits could be built into your program?What needs do youth think the youth involved are seeking

no mic as well' don't know if we can chat in the group sessions it only had the everyone chat option

Scenario #3You and a teen volunteer are supervising a group of 40 youth in the gym. The volunteer joins a game of basketball with four other teens. You hear two youth start to argue on the other side of the gym. The volunteer, who is involved in the basketball game, doesn't notice the argument. It looks like a fight is about to break out.How might this situation have been prevented? Are there any changes the Club might consider now to prevent or reduce such incidents?Applying what we discussed today, what structure & clear limits could be built into your program?What needs do youth think the youth involved are seeking out to be met and what can the Club do to assist in meeting those needs?What else may need to be enhanced (staff training, supervision, etc.)?

Scenario #4Three middle school age members run into the staff member's office to say that two brothers were bragging that one had a gun in his backpack. One brother said, "Do you dare me to take it out? Dare me to take it out!"How might this situation have been prevented? Are there any changes the Club might consider now to prevent or reduce such incidents?Applying what we discussed today, what structure & clear limits could be built into your program?What needs do youth think the youth involved are seeking out to be met and what can the Club do to assist in meeting those needs?What else may need to be enhanced (staff training, supervision, etc.)?

Scenario #5Charlie is having a bad day. As soon as Charlie got off the bus and walked through the Club doors, staff could tell Charlie was not in a good mood. After multiple redirections and behavior warnings, members and staff are getting frustrated with Charlie and his misbehavior continues to escalate.How might this situation have been prevented? Are there any changes the Club might consider now to prevent or reduce such incidents?Applying what we discussed today, what structure & clear limits could be built into your program?What needs do youth think the youth involved are seeking out to be met and what can the Club do to assist in meeting those needs?What else may need to be enhanced (staff training, supervision, etc.)?

Scenario #6You take a group of 6- and 7-year-olds to a water park. When you get there, the park has less than the proper number of lifeguards on duty. You decide to go ahead, using Club staff as spotters.How might this situation have been prevented? Are there any changes the Club might consider now to prevent or reduce such incidents?Applying what we discussed today, what structure & clear limits could be built into your program?What needs do youth think the youth involved are seeking out to be met and what can the Club do to assist in meeting those needs?What else may need to be enhanced (staff training, supervision, etc.)?

It cuts us off too soon

noone spoke in my room ~ even after I attempted to start those conversations... sorry

Sorry Ronda :(
