Many teen-agers work as mother's helpers, baby-sitters, and camp counselors during the summer months. If this is your first experience with children, you may not feel completely confident that you can handle every situation.

This feeling is very familiar to me because last year I was a summer camp counselor for the first time. Another girl and I were in charge of six girls in second and third grade.

It wasn't always an easy job; I had to stay spiritually on top of things. One thought from Science and Health helped me a great deal. Mrs. Eddy writes, "To those leaning on the sustaining infinite, to-day is big with blessings."^{Science and Health, Pref., p. vii;}
