Your children in the group

At one time or another many youth workers have their own children in whatever group we are working with. In fact many people start working with youth because their children are in the group. However, this causes some difficult complications in relationships. Avoid being like that crazy coach that only cares about his/her own child on the team. 
 
Do not give your children too many leadership opportunities, even if they are the best candidate.
    • You can give them love and support and parent attention when you are not on duty.
    • Do not allow them to take advantage of the relationship.
    • If there are 15 kids in the group, your child only has 1/15th of a right to get his/her own way or get your attention.
