Please help:
My residents don't like each other. They can't do together and they are mostly people without any school education. They continuously interrupt the activation programs sending bad expressions and hurting each other, and they try to use me to complain about the others. This can take them most of the day time. They always find something to gossip about everyone.
That's the reason I can't make them sit on one table to do the activation, or even in a circle. They sit one by one, sticked to the walls, rarely by couples.
So they can't participate fully in the activation, because of their characters and the distance separating them in the activation room. When I try to make them sit together, they pretend a headache, and are very angry not even willing to hear their next chair neibour's voice. Moreover 3 of them are demented and need continuous close presence, and yell AS SOON AS you don't speak DIRECTLY to them.
They like me! and they want me to speak one-to-one, all day long and not do the programs. everyone wants me for her/him and they begin to tell their stories.
These are many reasons to interrupt continuously my programs and even if I have many ideas, I can do nothing.
Please HELP!!!!!
TIA
