All members have the right to feel comfortable bringing their children to activities. With that in mind, we ask that all parents tend to their child(ren) and intervene immediately if any aggressive behavior is displayed.
Agressive behaviors include, but are not limited to:
Bitting, hitting, slapping, punching, pushing, kicking, wrestling, screaming, pulling hair, throwing, inappropriate touch, scratching others, tantrums, destruction of property, or any other behavior that interrupts an activity.
These behaviors will not be tolerated at any time at any events and should necessitate immediate action from the mom. Please notify the mother of a child right away if you see any of these behaviors from her child and she doesn’t act. If a child’s actions are consistently inappropriate the Organizer is to be notified and appropriate action will be taken.
While every child misbehaves at times, it is the parent's responsibility to correct the behavior immediately and, if necessary, remove the child from the situation. If we receive complaints regarding aggressive behavior, we will contact the parent via e-mail. Members will receive one (1) warning prior to group removal, the second email is to notify the parent they have been removed from the group.
Code of Conducts for the children
While it is our wish for our children to always share, cooperate and treat other nicely, we are all aware that children do not always have self-control over their own behavior. It is our job as parents to guide our children to express themselves in appropriate ways.
These guidelines have been established to allow our children to learn, play and grow in a healthy and safe environment. The following guidelines are to be followed at all our group’s sponsored activities, including playgroups and other activities in member’s homes or in public places.
•Moms are responsible for disciplining their own children. If a child is engaging in aggressive/inappropriate behaviors it is the responsibility of the mother of that child to remove the child from the situation for a short time before allowing him/her to return to the activity.
•If a child needs to be removed 3 times at an event, then that child and the mother must leave for the day. It is up to the discretion of The Organizer, assistant organizer or the hostess of the event to make a final decision in this regard.
•If a child is consistently having behavioral problems that have warranted his/her removal from several activities, the mother will be sent an email warning, informing her of the issue. If a child continues to have these issues, the mother will be sent the 2nd email asking her to leave the group.
•Children should not be allowed to stand, climb, or jump on or from any furniture, stairs or railings. Although this maybe allowed in your home, it is considered by most to be inappropriate behavior.
•If your child damages or breaks something (valuable or not), it is your responsibility to offer to repair or replace it.
•If your child has a food or pet allergy, please be responsible and inform other members regarding your child’s special needs before attending any events. If there is a child that has a particular food/pet allergy this should be respected as much as possible at all events. It is the parents responsibility to monitor your own child at events which include food/pets to ensure that they do not accidentally eat something inappropriate or are exposed to an animal they are either allergic to or not comfortable with.
•Hosts of playdates are not liable if a child or adult gets hurt at that event. The group organizers cannot be held for any such occurrences. By requesting membership to our group you have agreed to this.
