I have my own sports camp. It's not that big just something I do at home-but I take it serious. I have 2 girls and a boy that never comes. One girl doesn't listen. How do I get her to listen? I mean, the camp is free, and I give out prizes too! How do I get her to listen, and get the boy to actually come? The other girl is ok, though. Please, I need this answered!

probably you need to find other people to join this camp...and do some advertisement if you havent yet...the boy doesnt come cause probably there's no other boys coming or he doesnt like the camp(no offence!) it also depends on what prizes you give!! children now want more than you expect and are not happy with simple prizes!
about the girls...try to be more friendly with them and find out what they like...this might help!
all the best with the sports camp!

The non-listening girl is either playing out the drama of controlling, or is too busy day dreaming. Watch her, and if she looks like her mind is drifting, then instantly ask her what she's thinking about. This will bring her back to the here and now. If it is the control-drama, be direct with her and ask her why it is so important to her to control the situation.
The boy is lacking, passion, motivation and encouragment from his homelife. This is a hard one to fight. Ask him if he likes to participate in your sports camp, and why he does or doesn't. If he does, this might enough to encourage him to come.
In both situations what the real problem is the lack of connections with other people, and maybe you could be the one who teaches them how to connect.

Depends on the age of the children.. and on the variety of the actvivties that you have.
For the boy, I would see what he is interested in.
In the case of the girl that doesn't listen, I would try to find something that would help her to. Maybe she has a disability that makes her unable to sit still? IF that is the case, she should probably have a little ball or something like it that she can hold onto while your talking to her.

If she doesn't listen, give her warnings, suggestions, whatever you want to call it....it she can't follow through, tell her parents she can't come back until she's willing to follow the rules and guidelines.
As to the boy who doesn't come often, ask him what he'd like to learn. You may be surprised that he really does want to learn something, maybe just not what you happen to be teaching at the time. If he still doesn't come, then you've tried.
Make sure you focus on the girl who is interested. Keep her involved so you don't lose her when focusing on the "bad" kids.

How about asking them what the problem is? Ask the girl what would make her listen, and ask the boy why he doesn't come. In life, it is best to go directly to the source. If you are an adult, you should speak to the parents, not the children.

that is critical to not get stuck up in any drama. Take some steps back and think about this objectively. the vehicle twist of destiny and skill going off is twist of destiny and nonsense. that is the things you spot in videos. that is actuality. you won't be able to have your 8 year old beginning off interior the approach the evening on some flight of fancy. that is unacceptable (now to not indicate truly risky). undesirable grades, delinquent habit (a loner at 8 yrs old) and emotional instability (for an 8 old) back is unacceptable. you may want to take prompt action and get this youngster some professional help. back, do not get stuck up in this youngster's (for lack of extra acceptable note and that i'm sorry) craziness. that is serious. good success

talk to the girl about it and if she still doesnt listen then u could tell her she has to leave. or you could say stuff lyk "i bet you cant do this...." that normally makes the kids want to prove you wrong. to get the boy to come you could get another member of the camp to talk to him and tell him how much fun it is and maybe if he isnt listening to you he will listen to others

Sit her down and talk to her, find out what's causing her to act that way.It could be anything such as frustration, or just need to encouraged to participate . She probably needs someone to talk to. As for the boy, talk to his parents to see if they tell you why he won't come.

Maybe you should be listening to her. Try to get her to talk. Then you can open the lines of communication.

You want the kids to get out of your camp what you want them to. What about what the kids want? Maybe you should just continue teaching what you advertise, and hope you can get their interest.
If not, it may not be your fault.
