"Herbal" tea is an issue that we get to deal with and i just love the way you handled this, as with all great youth work i will happily steal it, claim it and teach it LOL. Is it bad practise to off load the snaks that are going out of date soon on detached project with YP's that have the munchies. I claim it as "relationship development" and just say "Maslow said it was the first step" Have a good one. Hi guys,

They remind me of an exercise we used to do with new volunteers & staff for child protection to get them thinking of how they'd deal with various scenarios (never a short session!) - as most of our work is residential some of these scenarios were very interesting - the best bit though was asking people to work out how many of the 'scenarios' had actually happened and the realisation that some of the most shocking ones weren't to do with young people but with the adult workers accompanying them! lol love those questions - you could probably write months of blogs just on similar questions.

Great to see a growing youth work blogging crowd emerging...

And perhaps it's that wanting to spend time in a YW environment where activities are social that also explains why in conundrum #4 self-created and fun physical exercise is preferred over organized and imposed PE (how many adults would choose going to the leisure centre to be told what sports to do and how over taking a football or cricket bat down the park for an informal game...)
