Hi
We already know that one of our shortfalls is a lack of childcare experience.
We have some friends that we will be able to babysit for and will start doing this soon... But they are all 'well adjusted' (is that the right term?) children and we are also looking to get experience of a cross section of personalities.
Can I ask how you got the experience you needed? What were the SW looking for? I'd be especially interested to know about experience you got with challenging kids (i.e. the type that might, stereotypically, be similar to looked after children)?
For those that have successfully adopted, what, if any, experience that you gained during the process was the most useful?
Thanks for any insight you can give
