[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They actually did give our money back for the future weeks, which I appreciate.  And I'm not saying they necessarily made the wrong decision.  I just was a little surprised that this was the first call I ever received from the director.  And I guess I don't really have a sense about whether he was endangering other children, since I only got one call about one incident, where he was admittedly being too rough with another child -- they used the term "rough-housing) (although they off handedly previous said something about his not listening well to the teachers).  I'm not sure if it was a "one strike and he's out" situation, or if there were additional issues.  I guess I also don't have a good sense of what the camps consider to be an acceptable (or at least predictable) level of rough-housing among boys this age -- he mentioned to me that another boy hit or pushed him, and I didn't mention it to the camp, but maybe I should have.  He's been to many camps before and never had any problem.  I guess I was just wondering if this is typical camp behavior, or if most of them give you a little more warning that there's a problem.[/quote]

Uh, op, no amount of rough housing is okay in a camp or day care situation. You need to teach him to keep his hands to himself.[/quote]

There was actually a fantastic story on NPR this afternoon about how boys learn so much from rough housing. And stopping them does them a disservice.[/quote]

Do you happen to have a link to that story? I'd like to listen.  [/quote]
