I am starting a new job as a houseparent at the local deaf school. I will be with the lower boys dorm, boys ages from like 7-12. I will be with them from the time they get out of class, to when they go to bed.
I wanted to know if you have any ideas on maybe some games or something we can all play together on my first day so I can get to know them and they can get to know me. I dont want them to think Im just some weird stranger that they know nothing about. I want to give them a chance to really get to know me, and I want to really get to know them.
So most of you went to deaf schools, so my question really is, what makes a good house parent? What did you hate about them and what did you love? What could have made it better? And what sort of activities do you suggest?
Thanks a ton, wish me luck! ; o)
