As a school-age professional, it is important to be aware of the emotions of the children in your care. Review the Boys and Girls Club of America’s Emotional Check-ins and the Emotional Check-in Memes and think of how you could use these check-in activities with the school-aged children in your program. Choose one of the activities to plan for your program. Share your plan with your trainer, coach, or administrator. After you complete the activity, reflect on how it went, what you would do differently next time, and how it impacted your relationship(s) with the school-aged children. Note: For the Emotional Check-in Memes, you only need to choose one meme/group of pictures.
