RULES AND DISCIPLINE POLICY
規則和紀律政策
We have 4 rules. Each is intentionally written in a simple, clear way so that kids can understand and remember them. We will talk with them during the children's programs about what each rule means and how to follow them.
1. Ask the leader for permission to leave the room (like going to the bathroom).
2.Listen when someone else is talking (this means no side conversations, no shouting out, and listening to the adult leaders during worship, large group time, small group time, and games/activities).
3. Participate during the program (this means no sitting out during worship or activities, either sharing during discussion or listening when others are sharing, and no distracting others or bringing distracting objects).
4. Stay in the designated children's program space (this means not wandering around the parking lot or other buildings for their safety, or into other groups' Bible studies out of respect).
We have 4 stages of consequences. The first time a child breaks a rule he/she will have a “Stage 1” consequence. If the child continues to break the rules, then he/she will have a “Stage 2” consequence, and so on:
• Stage 1: A warning will be given to the child by an adult leader, who fills out a discipline form.
• Stage 2: A timeout will be given, where a “coach” will have a conversation with the child about why he/she is having trouble following the rules, and what he/she can do to successfully follow the rules.
• Stage 3: A grounding will be given. The parent/guardian of the child will be called, and the child will be sent home for the night. In addition, the child will have to miss the next program.
• Stage 4: The child will be grounded from the program for an extended period. There isn't a set amount of time that he/she will be grounded, but it will be decided based on the circumstances of the situation.
There are certain situations where a child will automatically be put on a “Stage 3” consequence. These include:
• Racial slurs
• Hurting others
• Stealing
• Destruction of property
• Willful disobedience
• Stopping any part of the program from being able to continue
Basically, if a child does anything unsafe, illegal or destructive, the parent/guardian will be informed and the kid will be sent home. These rules and consequences are important to ensure the safety of all children and creates an environment where they can enjoy learning about God.
我們有4條規則。特意以簡單明了的方式編寫,以便孩子們能夠理解和記住它們。我們將在兒童節目中與他們討論每條規則的含義以及如何遵守這些規則。
1. 向領導請求離開房間的許可(例如去洗手間)。
2. 別人說話時要傾聽(這意味著不要插嘴,不要大聲喊叫,在禮拜、大型團體活動、小組活動和遊戲/活動期間要聽取成年領袖的意見)。
3. 參與活動(即在崇拜或活動期間不得坐在一邊,不得在討論時分享,不得在別人分享時傾聽,不得分散別人的注意力或攜帶分散注意力的物品)。
4. 留在指定的兒童活動空間內(這意味著為了他們的安全,不要在停車場或其他建築物周圍徘徊,也不要出於尊重而進入其他團體的聖經學習室)。
不守規則的後果有四個階段。當孩子第一次違反規則時,他/她將面臨「第一階段」的後果。如果孩子繼續違反規則,那麼他/她將面臨「第二階段」的後果,依此類推: • 第一階段:成年領導者將向孩子發出警告,並填寫紀律表。
• 第二階段:給予暫停時間,在此期間「教練」將與孩子交談,了解他/她為何難以遵守規則,以及他/她可以做些什麼來成功遵守規則。
• 第 3 階段:進行基礎訓練。我們會打電話給孩子的父母/監護人,並將孩子送回家過夜。此外,孩子還將錯過下一期節目。
• 第 4 階段:孩子將被禁止參加此計畫一段較長時間。他/她被禁足的時間並沒有固定,但將根據具體情況決定。
在某些情況下,孩子將自動進入「第三階段」的後果。這些行為包括: • 種族歧視 • 傷害他人 • 偷竊 • 破壞財物 • 故意違抗 • 阻止任何項目繼續進行 基本上,如果孩子做了任何不安全、非法或破壞性的事情,家長/監護人都會被告知,孩子會被送回家。這些規則和後果對於確保所有兒童的安全並創造一個他們可以享受學習上帝的環境非常重要。
