(i.e. experiences rather than material goods) and what he is is incredible.I guess what I'm asking is, what can I do to 'deal' with this and create the best situation possible? He is pretty young as parents go, and I'm even younger so I feel like I'm not 'life experienced' enough to be good enough. Reply to this Question Share |

xtwinklex is verified as being by the original poster of the questionThanks, I suppose as long as I do everything I can to be loving, open and approachable.. not really much else I can do o_O
I do already work with kids of their age at youth groups and playschool but I think that's made me more worried... I only spend 4 hours a week with those children, then they go home. And the turnover is pretty quick, due to age/moving up groups etc.. but this, with his... it's permanent o_O you can't mess up and go 'oh, well when new kids arrive I'll do it differently'
Argh.
