Any tips for dealing with older new kids.

Ooooh, I would not want to accept a 3 & 4 year old boy! Where were they before? If they were at a daycare, what happened? Were they terminated for bad behaviour or did they just move? I have so many questions for you.

But, the previous two posters gave you great advice. Rules! And actions have consequences, good actions mean praise and bad actions mean talking about correcting them.

Momof4 - they just moved here from a town several hours away. I'm having 2nd thoughts though - I definitely prefer the little ones!

Ah, well that's good at least. Enforce your rules daily and they will learn the routines and what you expect from them. Be consistent and talk to them all the time about your rules but give them special chores and make them feel at home too.
