If your on-site bathroom is in another building, you may want to make trips to the bathroom with more than one child. A staff member should wait outside the bathroom for the children. When you are on a field trip, do not send children to the bathroom alone. Two or more children should go with a staff member. Structure your surroundings so staff can see the children at all times.
Children sometimes assault other children.
School-age youth need private space for reading or writing. This can be a problem if the quiet area is hidden from view. Lofts or reading corners create quiet zones without compromising safety. Staff Behavior Never hit or strike a young person, even in so-called play. Do not use physical punishment of any kind.
