This study is based on my nursery practice for children with disabilities focusing on the case of a girl herein referred to as F. The paper first shows that I misunderstood some of the girl's intentions and how I interpreted her emotions. The purpose of this study is to show the importance of communication and mutual understanding to take care of children with disabilities.Contrary to my initial expections, the girl made little progress. Despite this I took care of girl F with a firm belief that she would become independent in the long run. I had many challenges in the process. The nursery room made it possible to change not only the girl but also other children. Going through the conflicts together enabled us to form a responsive relationship and mutual identity.
