Promoting Positive Behaviour Training for Leaders Old & New, February 2013 Session aims 1. To explore what behaviour we expect of adults and children at group night 2. To have an increased personal understanding of what ‘pushes our buttons’ 3. To identify suitable strategies for managing the types of behaviour we do not wish to see at group night As an introduction the group played a game, in which some participants ‘acted out’ a number of behaviour types e.g. bossy, over excited, overly competitive, bored, timid and just not interested.
