  10. The Front Line Continued... • Never wear sunglasses (unless for safety) • Be flexible • Always end an activity while the participants are having fun • Safety should never be compromised, nor negotiated

  11. The Front Line continued… • End an activity on a positive note • Always love the person, dislike the behavior • Provide structured choices • Power is like love, the more given away, the more one has • Do not treat children like miniature adults • Be aware of your surroundings, arrange participants to minimize outside detractions

  12. The Front Line continued… • All children need to run, jump, and scream--let them • Always be honest with children (and others) • Adult logic and reasoning does not always make sense to a child • Participants will be excited about things leaders are excited about • Remind yourself (and other adults) to PLAY every once in a while
