To them you exist to take care of them. I agree with MissMannah- talk to them about your family- what their names are, what they like to do, etc. Let them know what you will be doing on the holiday, and ask them to tell you about their day when you come back. You could even tell them stories about when you were a little girlSome thoughtsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32916951.post-69342201127396331542009-12-08T21:39:56.998-05:002009-12-08T21:39:56.998-05:00I really think this is an issue the parents should...I really think this is an issue the parents should be taking care of. It is hard for a small child to differentiate between "family" and "like family." Maybe the parents can start referring to you as a friend? You can explain to the children that you have a mommy and daddy too and that you love being with them, just like they love being with their mommy and daddy. You can bring in pictures of you with your family to drive the point home.MissMannahnoreply@blogger.com
