Reflection of activities we have done

One of the requirements of our activities is that we are responsive. In my single-child project this means responding to single child. I am keen to provide more meaningful activities to single child and keen to do something about the long terms goals and aspirations of my project. We took sporting activities and after hours schooling activities separately in May. Sporting activities are vital to the life of a single child. The activities allow time with other children and help build team skills. Children also learn that they may not always come first. This is an experience for a single child who has generally been the first consideration in his household and therefore expects the world to work the same way. After hours schooling are a way for a single child to interact on an informal basis. It is vital that a single child learns basic social skills, like how to chat informally or talk to members of the opposite sex. Often, children from single child homes are incredibly spoilt and throw tantrums when things do not go their way. This is something most parents are aware of, but do not guard against.
