I'm going by the list it gives me to start out with. :) So I've babysat family friend's kids and my own families kids, have on and off for a few years so most of them are grown up by now. Have learned and still learning things about child psychology and parenting skills because I hope to be a child therapist one day, so I want to make sure I do what I can to be understanding. Personally, besides parents obviously having rules of their own. I also like to know about what a few habits kids have, and what the child and/or parent(s) are comfortable with. (This is mainly for kids that aren't babies and can communicate their comfort levels) Ex: Topics, Type of tone, questions that may come up (I just assume questions cause kids are always going to be curious about even just asking what sand is Read more made of or what they hear in school.) Also an extra note for reference. I also am on the autism spectrum. So I apologize if I seem robotic in some way in my speech or seem a bit odd! I can drive. All I could appreciate would be understanding that I say what I mean with no intention of seeming rude in any way at any time. I enjoy being able to communicate and learn, especially when helping parents. Good job parents, you're all troopers! :)
