Sometimes, after putting in much effort in a child and the child turn around and hurl curses and vulgarities, it can be quite hurtful no matter how much I tell myself that the child is still a child and usually don't think too far. When they want things, they want it NOW. As much as I remind myself not to get personal, it's hard. It's hard to smile when all I feel like doing is to get as far away as possible from the child.
However, I believe strongly that behind every behaviour, there is a meaning. By the time a child gets into the Home system, they had already gone through much in their decade of life - Perhaps even much more than me.
I thank God, though, that I know that I am not working alone. I am working in a team and making decisions is generally a lighter burden.
