Supervision U Training
In this class we will look at the skills needed to be part of a group and how the development of social skills is necessary to be successful in all group situations. We will take a look at how a child’s sense of self identity, self esteem, and impulse control can change the dynamics of a group. Just as the individual child affects a group so does the expectations, boundaries, rules and activities created by the adult supervising the group. We will look at a variety of ideas that will help care givers use creativity and harmony to create healthy fun group interaction in a child’s life.
