Older kids are truly harder than the younger ones. You will have to really follow through with any consequences (ie: timeouts) that you use when things happen. Once they understand that it is not acceptable they should stop (or so we hope!). I would keep talking eith the mother as well, maybe a daily report on how the day went for a week or so? I do hope you get some more kids in your care soon! I'm sure you will do fine once you get a new schedule worked. Take a few deep breaths, enjoy those cheese puffs and remember tomorrow is a new day!
