[quote=Anonymous]I have 3 charges currently who may ft individually, 3 in the previous family who ft together, 2 in 3 previous families (and each set fts together), and one set of 7 who are no longer living together, so the 5 together sometimes do, the two older girls rarely ft (one is now an adult, the other is 17).  In all, 19 current and former charges may wish to speak to me at least once per weekend.

I value communication with my all my charges, current and former.  The ones who are old enough for their own phones/computers don’t have to use a parent before fting me, but they did have to learn the etiquette of texting to ask first.  The ones who are younger have to ask to use a device, so the parent asks me.  If I can’t do it immediately, we set up a mutually convenient time later that day.  It’s important to me to connect with them, that they know I value them and that I’m honestly interested in whatever they say.  The teens are more likely to call if they’re having family, relationship or schoolwork issues, while my elementary age kids are more likely to call when they’re either missing me or wanting to tell me about an A or a hit/kick in a game or similar.  It doesn’t matter to me how long it takes, because they will only talk until they’re done telling me what they want me to know, then they’ll hang up.[/quote]
