Читать книгу B.R.M. (Bathroom Reading Material) for Youth Workers - Jeremy Halstead - Страница 28

There is a powerful message sent to students when you show up to their stuff: sixth grade graduations, sporting events, musicals, band & choir concerts, scout promotions, National Honors Society inductions, award ceremonies . . .

It is important to let your student know that you will be attending. Arrive early enough to see them prior to the event. Hang out afterwards to hug, love and congratulate them; and do not forget to take pix with them.

Here in Eaton there is a football tradition (regardless if it is a home or an away game) that after the game, after the coach’s speech, and after the seniors lead the team in their fight song, the parents and fans mob the field to hug, love and congratulate the boys. Every Friday night I go home drenched in sweat and smelling like I had played under the lights and all I did was hug players after the game.
