Expect to hear some fantasies, tall tales, incorrect and unacceptable language. Some children hear language and see behavior at home which is not acceptable at school. Instead of criticizing a child's home, explain the type of language and behavior that are appropriate for school use. Make good use of wait time . It is easier to maintain discipline when students are busy at worthwhile, interesting tasks with little time to get bored and restless.
Young people love to voice their opinions and know they are heard.
Try to enjoy children because they are different rather than merely tolerating differences. Look for the unique contribution each student can make. A special message to that student might alleviate this potential problem. Please close this window to get back to the Volunteer Handbook's Table of Contents.
