Struggling to be a Responsible Role Model for Kids

I'm sorry I can't speak from first hand experience, but I do know there's a part of me that is very child-like. His name is Sanders. That's just what I call him because he sort of taken over when I was experiencing extreme distress. He used to be a little girl too, but he's just a young-minded guy/person. I do experience shared memory between me and him, so my guess is this is all made up? But I haven't needed to use my "headmates" for a couple years now. I guess I'll make a post for this later. So I always feel like I need to be on their level, or at least, understand things from their point of view. I'm not sure if that's the only way I can relate to kids, by pretending to be like them? It's a weird thing too, since I'm not wanting to do that always, it just kind of ends up happening sometimes. I guess I have a hard time showing tough love when they say "no!". However, maybe I might need to become a parent myself? It's always been something in the forefront of my mind, especially since I work in OB as an EVS technician. Basically a glorified janitor. LOL. Anyways...

You can get a lot of rapport by not seeing children as some other that you need to be absolutely different around, but as less developed and vulnerable people.

As someone who also has autism and works with children for a job, I'd be happy to answer any questions or concerns you have
