Children And Healthy Risk Taking

Southwoods started to know the type of relationship that we want to grow with our parents in the fields. A relationship that was bi-directional, a society with good communication that have allowed us to continue growing all the hard work of our parents that they do at home. Continue to develop this relationship, we are pleased to present this new section of our newsletter parents. Each month we will try to include articles or books that you might find useful in the wonderful wild ride called parenthood. We hope you enjoy and find value in them.

Nurturing Good Children Now by Ron Taffel

Lynn E. Risk Romance Pontoon

I recently attended a conference on child development called Joe Kruger Education Conference. Orientation sessions were delivered by Dr. Lynn Ponton a psychiatrist, writer and professor at the University of California, San Francisco and Dr. Ron Taffel, noted child and family therapist, speaker and author. Although both spoke of the risks facing our children, each speech focused on a specific type of risk. Dr. Ponton spoke of the risk assessment (help children learn important in making good decisions about risk), risks normal, healthy, inspiring growth as you try an activity and unhealthy risks or dangereous as something that can hurt you is scary, illegal or immoral. Dr. Taffel spoke about the risks we face in our ever-changing world and how these risks, fears and situations affect our children and their emotions.

Dr. Ponton list of ways to better help children grow healthy and taking risks ... Talk to your children, ask questions about what they do, they get to meet their friends, giving them the borders and enforce family rules and be a good role model ... We all nodded his head in agreement that these things are important, but the last really resonated. Dr. Ponton added that the most powerful way to help children learn good risk taking was sending children to summer camp tool. Mom and Dad are not the field, and what better place could there be for children to learn to make good decisions and take security risks without mom and dad in the field.

Risk taking is a good and healthy part of development when combined with insurance and positive activities. For many children, the first thing on the field is risky bus and say goodbye to mom and dad. It is normal and acceptable to your child (and you) to be nervous about the camp. Risk-taking, but in positive activities, can be frightening. While getting on the bus can be very difficult for some children, this is the first realization of a long list that will have children during their camp experience. A good camp environment helps the child feel emotionally strong. It has a great staff that helps guide children in the right decisions. All participants see things as risks during four weeks in the camp, some large and some small, have an impact on the person listed at the end of summer. Teaching a child that taking health risk is a positive tool for the discovery, development and consolidation of identity is not easy.

In a world where there are too many risks to imagine, it's good to know that the field is a safe place where children can be children, make decisions and learn from their mistakes.

If you choose to send your child to camp, you know the value of organized camping for children. You probably know that your child will become more independent, improve athletic and artistic talents, make new friends and learn to be better. But we also want you to know that sending your child to camp, you are also helping to learn about risk assessment and how to make the right decisions while being surrounded by people who will guide you through this process. The camp is a place for risk exciting, fun and safe.
