Specific Responsibilities: Spiritual Development of the ChildSets a good example of Christian attitudes and conduct. Trains children in the experience of worship by actively participating in a local approved church and encouraging the participation of the children in the activities of the church. Attendance is required for primary worship and relief parents should consider the value of the child participating in other services, Sunday School, youth meetings (i. e. Young Life, Fellowship of Christian Athletes, etc. ), and retreats. This should be a part of the plan made with the house parents. Conducts daily family devotions with the children in coordination with the Ranch Spiritual formation program. Ensures the children attend any Ranch-wide devotion. At least one parent from each home will attend with their children. Fosters a spirit of religious tolerance, while encouraging the child to an individual faith in Jesus Christ. Emotional DevelopmentBecomes familiar with each childs social history in an effort to understand the child as an individual. Is available to talk to the child at all times, and during crisis, coordinating times with the ranch counselors. Looks for ways to help the child achieve their program goals. Looks for things the child does well, remains fair and consistent with natural consequences, and ensures that the children understand what they must do to progress. When the children are sick, cares for them. When theyre involved in school or church activities, encourages them. When they have responsibilities, holds them accountable. Nurturing is guided by the emotional age of the child and stretches from tucking them into bed and reading stories to them, to assuring them that they are accepted unconditionally.

Group pressures and group values can have a constructive place in the training of children. However, discipline requires more maturity and understanding than can be expected of a group of children alone, and no child or group of children should be allowed to discipline another child. Serious offenses, such as drug use, sexual acting out, criminal offenses or running away, should be reported to the Senior Leadership Team immediately and followed up with a written Incident Report within 24 hours. No disciplinary action should be taken which will demean the child or damage his self-esteem. Corporal punishment is not an option for any child. As a general rule, discipline should be administered only to your assigned children. Refer other infractions to the appropriate house parents unless it is a life or death situation.
