Behavior PolicyChildren’s Behavior
Policy MOMS Club activities are meant to be enjoyable and safe events for both parents
and children. The MOMS Club respects parenting differences but expects that all
children behave appropriately at MOMS Club activities. Moms are responsible for
their child(ren)'s actions and behavior. Unacceptable behaviors include but are
not limited to:
- Biting
- Destroying
property
- Hair pulling
- Hitting
- Hitting with
objects
- Inappropriate
touch
- Kicking
- Overly aggressive
behavior
- Over-the-top
tantrums
- Scratching
- Slapping
- Spitting
In the unfortunate
event that these behaviors occur during MOMS Club activities, then the child’s
mother should temporarily remove the child until the behavior has been
corrected. If this does not occur, a member may be asked to temporarily remove
their child until the behavior has been corrected. This may be done at the
discretion of the Executive Board. If after a half hour from the original
incident, if this behavior does not cease, then the mother and child shall
leave for the day. If such behavior occurs repeatedly at subsequent activities,
mom will receive a written warning and be put on notice that such behavior is
unacceptable. After the warning, if the unacceptable behavior is still
occurring, the member will not be permitted to participate in activities for 60
days. If a child is deemed a danger to themselves or other children on a
continual basis, the mother maybe asked to leave the club. This Policy is in
place to ensure the enjoyment and safety of club members and their children.
Moms Behavior Policy
MOMS Club is here to support mothers and caregivers who choose to stay at home
with their children. We support all mothers and recognize that there are many
different parenting styles and personalities in our Club. The purpose of this
policy is to establish guidelines for members at all MOMS Club functions or
when interacting with other members. It will allow for the removal of members
from the MOMS Club roster if they violate the guidelines established and set
forth herein. The final decision will rest with the Executive Board.
To ensure a safe,
supportive atmosphere, we ask the following of all members:
- You shall not use obscene or
abusive verbal language directed toward any other member of the club or
their child(ren).
- You shall not use physical or
obscene gestures toward any other member of the club or their child(ren).
- You are responsible for your
child(ren) at all MOMS Club functions. If you cannot supervise them all,
please talk to other members ahead of the event to see if they can lend a
hand, or bring a relative or other helper (babysitter) to assist you at
public functions.
- When disciplining your
child(ren), please speak in a reasonable voice or remove the children from
the area. Loud voices and yelling are upsetting to other children and
disruptive. Please remove your children from the area for time-outs.
- Do not discipline another mom’s
child(ren) without their permission. In the event that your child is in
conflict with another child, please separate them and take the other child
to his/her mother.
- As a support group, there will
be many conversations with and about members. To be supportive, no malicious
gossip, demeaning comments, and/or harassment regarding other members is
allowed. Please also respect the privacy of members who do not have an
outgoing nature. This applies whether you are talking in-person, via
phone, email, Facebook, or any other social media.
- You shall be considerate and
respectful to the property of other members.
- You shall not misuse the MOMS
Club roster or its contents nor shall you send club-wide emails not
pertaining to MOMS Club business without the approval from the President.
- You are responsible for reading
and following the by-laws of this Club at MOMS Club activities, including
the general by-laws set forth by the International MOMS Club, the Illness
Policy, the Children’s Behavior Policy and this policy.
Actions
may be taken against any Member who violates the Code of Conduct.
Those Actions include: - First Offense – Verbal
Warning
- Second Offense –
Written Warning
- Third Offense – The
member will be asked to leave the MOMS Club and their dues will be forfeited.
