But you shouldn't have gotten angry... If you make a game out of getting out of the pool, theyd be happy to play. Have a reward for them at the end, a prize maybe, or make it like tag where one child had to tag someone and then they have to get out of the pool.
 
Yet fun includes running Anan. Running on pool side can cause injury, & a child in constant play mode is a dangerous thing when a concussion can happen. We don't take away fun because we're mean or like getting angry, we do it too be safe, & make sure you get safe. (Btw I've never yelled at a kid. I was just giving an example of a certain few parents I've seen do this)
 
But why are the kids running on the ground? I meant while they were still in the water. If a kid is running on the ground near a pool, thats completely different. What you have to do is take then away from the group (once everyone is out of the water) And speak to them quietly, stare them in the eyes, and tell them that you don't want any kid to get hurt and you want (insert name of specific kid here) to make sure that no one else gets hurts, and the best way to do that is to lead by example. The kid will then be at the same time ashamed for running and proud that you picked them to make sure nothing happens. 
At least in my experience...
 
If their still in the water, then we still have to effi-let em explain it this way. You have one cookie, & two children. One child got a 100 on their test while the other just saved another childs life. Who do you give the cookie too?


Rhetorical, both of them did good things, it'd be wrong to give the cookie to either, & it'd be terrible to tell them to share because one of them would feel like they did better than the other, therefore wanting a bigger piece of the cookie.


Effectual treatment causes long run problems, so even if you do pull said kid out of the way & tell him/her of the things you just said, it's just teaching that when the kid does bad things, you'll give him an earnest talk & tell him the right thing, with 0 punishment for endangering his/her life or another childs life in the process. It teaches him that it's alright when he/she does bad things but it's alright because someone will just pull them too the side & tell them what the right thing to do is. That's counter productive too learning Anan. Speaking in a loud, clear concise voice, not making everything a game (Because not everything is a game, in fact most of games are just distractions from reality) is more direct because it addresses every single child in what exactly you need them too do in order for more fun too occur, that way they can rely on you for things when they don't already know what to do themselves.
 
Well Neshie, you do have a way of making me feel like a kid with just your words and through the internet, so I guess you're good on that front. I'll just be quiet now.
 
o-o...I didn't mean it like that Anan. You know that, your right it is good to understand children, & have fun while you can, but when things like safety, efficiency, & fairness when dealing with an extremely large group of kids, there should be all 3 of these equally distributed by them all. Not all kids like each other, so leading by example doesn't always work, as only the ones who'd follow the kid would do it, while the others would just go off doing their own thing. Again, dangerous.


You have a good base on why kids want & how too implement things in a fun manner, which is something good, we all need imagination, it's why I wanted the job because i love conversations with kids, & playing around having fun, but when reality kicks in, & things have too come too a close, we must move on & just try to have fun the next time. You aren't wrong, just a different perspective.
 
Thanks Neshie, but it's okay, I guess I need a bit more experience with kids before I can accurately say things like I did.
 
o-o speaking of which, didn't know you were a fellow kid wrangler Anan. What kinda experience do you have if i may ask so generously for the answer
 
Correction. I spend WAY too much time around kids. It's how I got this amazingly Curious & Imaginative =u= 
o-o You do Summer Camp as well , ah i'll be moving from the Y too Florida after i graduate...noh Summer camp for me QAQ
 
*stares at my hand for a moment before deciding to experiment and reach out towards Neshie again*
 
O.o *stares at my hand close-up before putting my hand on my face for a while, taking it off and shrugging before chasing Neshie again*
