I love all the children, they've all got fantastic personalities. Lovely children, but the one that's the most like me is Sarah Lucy. I can, I can... she does things like I do, she says things I say.
Um, and I think that's why sometimes we have our clashes because we are so similar.
She's very, very much like me.
Me and Sarah Lucy have very... both have very strong personalities, so we clash quite a bit.
When Sarah Lucy can't have her own way, she struts off, slams the door, stamps up the stairs.
Favorite expression for me is, very quietly she'll say, \like a witch!\
And then, um, I'll say to her, \When you feel better, you come and talk to me about it.\
Um, so she'll stay in her room for a few minutes and then she'll come back down and she's all, \
And then if I've upset Sarah Lucy, I'll apologize if I think I'm in the wrong.
And then we'll have a discussion or a debate about it.
There's certain aspects about Sarah Lucy's behavior, um, it's learned behavior because children live what they learn, and so there're some traits that she's got and I think, \they're beautiful, they're lovely, I love
them.\
And there're other ones and I think, \For example, her strutting off and slamming the door. But, um, confession: She gets it off me.
She gets it off mum. Um, and she'll say to me, \patience.\
and she's telling the truth. And so I have to say to her, \I could do to make that better?\
And then she'll sit me down and she'll say, \have to learn to listen.\
So, I try. I do. When we have this conversation, I do listen more, and I do try. Don't always get it right, but I do try.
When I'm feeling angry, um, if the other children are around, when one of them sees me upset, they don't like to see me upset, so one of them will come to me and say, \
Is it time for some medicine?\cuddle. So we have a cuddle, a hug, and that is fantastic medicine because it does make you feel better. And that's what works for us. Keys: (1)Lovely (2)similar
