Recorded Webinar - Quirky Kids: What We Can Do When a Kid Doesn't "Fit"

Member: $39.00
Non-Member: $74.00Your price

Every cabin/group has a Quirky Kid or two… these are campers who tend to act, do, and socialize differently from their peers. Quirky Kids often don't pick up social cues, or they might alienate friends with impulsive, spacey, or explosive emotions. Keeping Quirky Kids following camp rules can be a nightmare for a new counselor. And they just can't stop talking about Magic the Gathering.

LEARNER OUTCOMES:
By the end of the webinar participant will learn:

1. Examine your “norms” in what a child is expected to be able to socially do within a camp program
2. Identify some differences between deliberate and unintentional “acting out”
3. Increase staff and peer acceptance, tolerance, and awareness of a wider spectrum of social diversity
4. Give staff awareness and tools in how to socially coach the quirkier kids
5. Enforce tolerance and inclusion amongst their peers for harmless weirdo behavior
