Re: Do FIRST kids behave better?

Kids behave like kids when adults are not around. Yes, some kids are better, but not many.

We do make it very clear every season what our expectations for behavior are, and I like to think this does affect them positively. Basically "no horseplay" and "be inclusive" (which means no bullying or shunning or cliques) are big ones.

While traveling we have even higher standards, especially on how they behave in the hotel, since other guests are trying to rest. (This is a sore point for me, since I travel a lot and am frequently one of those "other guests").

So, I think if we didn't make it real clear, we'd see typical kid behavior. Even then, we sometimes do.
