I childmind seven children. I am NOT trying to be their mum, as no one can take mums place.
What do you deal with yourself and what do you let the parents deal with?
Over my time as a cm I have had to step back and let the parents deal with things such as challenging behaviour, homework not being done, coat not being brought to mine, parents not remembering its non unform (dealing with the crying)
I have look after the children with great care but sometimes I have gone from cm to taking on extra things.
How do you ensure you stay balance?
Three of the children are the same age as as my youngest, therfore I know what is taking place at school.
What are your views on this?
At the end of the day I am a mother myself.
