I Need Help
Anyone has any advice/ charms/ experience/ formulas/ guides/ manuals/ methods/ skills/ spells/ tips/ tricks to teach kids, especially sports, especially swimming? Urgent!! My next lesson with the kids is next Sunday. I need to improve my skills in handling children. The situation today was:
2 kids dashed-ran-splashed-screamed-jumped in OPPOSITE directions --> which one should I chase? Gosh! I took 30 mins to get them together side by side and guess what they started to do? Fight! Yes, they started to kick-hit-grab-push each other! *Faint* Suddenly one boy was interested to learn while the other boy kept jumping in and out of the water, ignoring me. I tried to teach one but I must keep an eye on the other because both of them do NOT know how to swim. However they know how to run-splash-squeal-jump-fight well.
HOW? Apart, I can't teach. Together, they will fight. How do I get their attention to learn how to swim? They were so happy running-splashing-screaming-fighting...

Use soft approach for 2 times.... if tat won't work use ur Voice.. Lalalalalla!!!!!!!!! And of cos Must be sure u gt the approval of their parents to scream at them....
Best, complain to their parents... u are nt here to lecture ur kids hahaha...
joshy: Nowadays kids canNOT scold 'cos I noticed even their parents don't scold them. How can I scold right?
sarah: Yes, I should be firm but canNOT be fierce 'cos their parents hardly scold them & they will most likely cry if I scold them. Then I will be even worse ya?
joshy & sarah: ThnX for your suggestions. Do inform me if you know of any fun water games for kids! Meanwhile I have to go read up on the Pokemon cartoon 'cos I notice one of the kid likes Pokemon characters...
Sarah gives some good advice. Use a whistle. When I go swimming, the coaches use that to control the kids. Afraid that I cant give you much advice on this. My experience with kids is teaching em piano 1 on 1 in an enclosed room and the children I am handling are mostly girls. - Zhiwei
Perhaps you can try to lay down some rules with the kids. Get them to contribute regarding punishment for those who break the rules. Reward those who are well-behaved and hopefully the rest will follow suit. =)
