Has there ever been a time when the political situation in Bosnia hasn't been awful?
Not since the early 90's
I was a summer camp counselor for many years. The biggest problem I had with the kids is over stimulation. They are doing new stuff, they get very excited, and they get tired. Make sure you schedule in down time for them.
We had lots of Bosnian neighbors in St. Pete. A group there did lots of refugee sponsorships and we lived in the poor part of town where refugees end up. I miss the smell of the neighbors cooking stuffed onions.
This is a good point. These aren't little, little kids. Like 10-13 years old. But they're still kids.
Well bosnia is a fairly new country.
The current state of Bosnia is fairly new. But Bosnia as a political/cultural entity goes back to the middle ages.
Something else to know about working with kids: they're kids, and you need to treat them like it. I find it's generally not wise to act as though you expect to be respected, but instead to simply be yourself and respect them. I'm not saying you'd necessarily do this to a kid in person, but your way of speaking in many threads is very forward, blunt, opinionated, and a bit lacking in empathy. Kids in general are much more sensitive to this than many adults who have just learned how to deal with it. At least, that's my experience with teaching 4th graders.
I mean no offense to you Hasan, since you obviously don't mean harm even when you do such things here, but children can be very sensitive, especially when compared to adults.
No offense taken. I know what you mean. I'm actually usually good with kids.
