Ok so i have learned some very good lessons so far at daycamp. Some are really good lessons and others are ones the kids have learned or taught me which are funny.
Lesson one: I am developing patience. Ok this is a very good lesson because before I didn't like to wait around or be patient but the kids have taught me all about it especially when you want to do something and they don't want to move.
Lesson 2: If you whine enough you will eventually get your way (this is one of the riles kids have). Some of my kids whine a lot so eventually I let them not play the game anymore because who wants to argue.
Lesson 3: When you get yelled at cry because people stop to make sure you are ok. I have one little girl and she is a great little girl. The only thing that drives me crazy is she cries when she a. doesn't get her way or b. gets yelled at. I have learned to see past fake tears and follow through with what I say so that she learns to obey rules.
Lesson 4: Leave your hands off others. This is an important rule so that no one gets hurt. Some of my kids like to put their hands on each other and fight so i separate them. We find that everyone gets along better when no one hits or kicks.
Lesson 5: shoes will get lost for a little bit but if you look hard enough you find them. Someone alway forgets to put their shoes on at times and so we have to send a search party (aka me or another worker) to find them. I think we should just all now start barefoot and see how many shoes will follow.
Lesson 6: It's important to listen so no one gets hurt. We have some young kids and so we have to watch them to make sure they don't fall and get hurt.
Well here are a few lessons I have have learned so far in the last two weeks at daycamp.
