<human>: I (22/F) have been seeing my boyfriend (33/M) for about 7 months, though we haven't become committed until fairly recently. I was moving away at the end of the summer, so we kept things somewhat casual and tried to protect ourselves. Now I've decided to stay, and if I want to stay with him, which I do, I need to become more involved in his life, which means meeting his 9-year-old daughter. I am a child of divorced parents, and I severely disliked the women my dad dated, which makes me very scared to meet my boyfriend's daughter, though I have a perspective of how she may react and feel. On top of that, I have very little exposure to children, as I am the youngest of my family and have never worked with kids. I don't know how to talk to kids, simply because I haven't done it since I was a kid myself. Any advice about meeting my significant other's daughter/how to talk to kids would be most appreciated. I don't want to screw this up.

Can you give me a shortened version of the text?
<bot>: I don't know how to talk to kids, but needs to meet my boyfriend's daughter, and am absolutely terrified of a bad first impression.
