In response to Bonding posted by mamaof4boyz1girl:


The youngest children (4-9)were the easiest to bond with. I'm always surprised by how much young children remember. I tried to relate the concept that I was not here to replace anyone, but I was here in addition to the original parent.
The older child(14) already had some prolbems with the relationship with her mother. I think some of these problems between them also effected our individual relationship.
I tried to make sure that I wasn't dragging them into a triangle with other parents. I did not make any comments about other parents actions, good or bad, except to the adults that were involved.
