	Re: Does it ever worry you to working alone with a child? Posted by denise on 3/06/08 In this day and age, you are naive if you don't worry. It would seem that you are treading on very thin ice if you decide to take on this child. Is there any way you can leave your door open so that there is no cloud of concern created by working behind doors? My room sounds just like yours and I think about how difficult it would be to defend oneself if ever accused of wrongdoing. Yet the kids we select generally need to be isolate from distractions. I'd have a real heart to heart talk with the principal before selecting this child. By the way, I keep my door shut and worry constantly. On 3/06/08, Karen wrote: > Hi!
