• Time-Outs: A short period away from the group to calm down and reflect on their behaviour.
• Parental Involvement: Informing parents about the behaviour and seeking their support in addressing it.
• Temporary Suspension: If a child repeatedly engages in serious misbehaviour or if a single incident is particularly severe, the child may be temporarily suspended from attending the club. This provides an opportunity for the child and their parents to address the behaviour before returning.
• Permanent Removal: As a last resort, if a child continues to engage in serious misbehaviour despite previous interventions, or if a single incident is extremely severe, the child may be permanently removed from the club. This decision is made to ensure the safety and well-being of all participants.
