They will like you more if they respect you!!!!! they wont respect you unless you discipline when ness. just do what needs to be done, stick to a sched no variance....give rewards for following rules and always play with the kids, becoming a friend to them is important in their levels of trust. When I need to I get after them , they know my look...but they also know my hug, and they also know my laughter and smiles. Just be a MOM to them, they will love you!!!!
