A Special Outing

Awhile ago, at Casa Nadia, Rebeca, and Ana, we implemented a point system to help with the behavior of the kids. We realized the importance of not only correcting inappropriate behaviors but of rewarding good behavior. The kids have several rules that they must follow, and for the rules they follow well, they receive points each day. At the end of the week, if they have a high number of points, they are rewarded with extra time on the computer for a week, getting to stay up later for a week, and a special outing in town.


Last week, 3 kids from Casa Rebeca received all of their points, and they got an extra special treat. Basketball season has begun again in Romania and Kati Darvas, Levi, and Stefan were treated to their first basketball game ever. They screamed, cheered, and REALLY enjoyed the game. They especially enjoyed that we waited after the game to take pictures with some of the American basketball players!



The kids LOVED the experience, and they have promised that they are going to get ALL their points every week so that they can keep coming to the games!
