I didn't know which foprum to post this at. I decided on this one because my major goal with working with children is to increase my connections with people and to develop my principle of love.

At the moment I feel like my higher self is encouraging me to work with children. Every time I've followed the guidance of my higher self it's turned out great and every time it's required courage. The problem is my alignment with love is weak at the moment and I find it easier to just sit at home and play video games than to seek out connections with real people. I'm on benefits from the government and I'm living at home. I currently don't work at all. I'm not satisfied with this situation.

In general I only see a positive outcome from this. It should increase my connections with people, children and their parents and I might make some good friends and increase my confidence so I can approach people my age more easily.

How can I begin? I've briefly searched for jobs in my local area and didn't find anything. What if I'm unable to find anything and this is just a dead end?

I'm a guy too and I'm afraid that people will assume I'm a pedophile because I'm male and I want to work with children. I've read articles about men who work with children who have been accused of molesting the kids even though they didn't do anything to them simply because they happen to be male.

I'm afraid of success too. I wouldn't know what to say to kids, how to care fior them properly. I've got zero experience in this field. What if I inadvertantly hurt one of the children i was taking care of?

Do you guys think I should go for this and how do I start? Are there any good websites where I can find out what oppurtunities are availiable in the UK?
