"I'm here to talk to you about how to coordinate birthday games for a birthday party. Now let's talk about how to deal with problem children while having a birthday game. Let's start with some do's and don'ts. Do's; always have a loving attitude when approaching a child that seams frustrated or is kind of upset that he or she is not in the live light. Don't say it's not your birthday. Instead say, hey I want to see you participate in this game, so in just a minute I'm going to ask you how to show me. Next; always, always ask the children who would like to participate. Because you might have some children that don't want to participate and then when you force them, then it may end up being a problem. So, continue to encourage children to do their best and they're at the birthday party to have fun. If you still have a problem child that does not want to behave appropriately, feel free to ask the child, hey can you help me with something? Usually children who misbehave during a birthday party, feel left out or feel a little lost. So if it's time to serve cake, ask them can you please help me serve the cake or can you help pass out the plates? Anything to keep their minds off what they're frustrated about. I'm sure the birthday party will end up being fun. Just make sure everyone is involved."
