[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 201441, member: 1991"] Welcome, moonwolf. Until those books arrive, duck over to Early Childhood and look for the stickys on adapting the book to younger children. It will give you a bit of a preview on how it works. Like you, I used to help out with kids that were not my own. In my case they were the children of my oldest sister, and there were three difficult children in there. Hm... maybe four. And like you, although I felt competent in a lot of areas, there were times when the kids' behaviour had me feeling very much out of my depth. I wish I'd had this book. One thing I can tell you - when the time finally came to have my own kids, I really knew much more about what to do. I don't know what your future plans are re having your own family but whatever your future choices, this experience will always be of value to you. Can you get your partner to also read up on the book with you? Even if she's not as involved with the kids as you are, if she's on the same wavelength as you, it will help you both. You will be better able to support each other. Good on you for being such a caring, wonderful person. Marg [/QUOTE]
