Bag It

One night a camp staff member came running into the nurse’s office saying a child was having difficulty breathing. So I rushed over to their cabin to assess the child. Turns out the reason for the breathing issues was the child was hyper ventilating, so I used a plastic bag and got them under control, which impressed the staff. Next I had to figure out why this child was hyper ventilating. Turns out the counselor for this group of kids was mad at them and this child took it personally (they looked up to them). This particular counselor was assigned to the 8 & 9 years old since their maturity level was similar to that age group. After a discussion between the two, everyone was happy and harmony had been restored to the cabin.
