[QUOTE="confuzzled, post: 573441, member: 8831"] four hyperactive kids in this same play center? that is kind of incredible. the number one protocol in the states is "hands to yourselves". many, if not all, of our schools have a zero tolerance policy and would be reactive even in play. the number two protocol in schools is "no violence" or even an air of it. that also generally has a zero tolerance policy....there has been more than one ridiculous newsworthy case of a kindergardener using his finger as a play gun to "shoot" people, someone suspended for bringing a plastic knife to school to spread butter on their bread at lunch (weapon), drawing pictures of some known superhero who may in fact have a weapon (inappropriateness) and the infamous girl who forgot to take her finger nail clippers out of her purse and had them in school (weapon). no doubt some of our policies are completely over the top but for a myriad of reasons our mindset is better safe than sorry. so if it were me, i'd make hands/feet/elbows to yourself my top rule...even if its just all in good fun. and then work on getting the adults to figure out a way to redirect the rambunctiousness.
