He also cares for the little kids in group and does not want them to be scared. He wants the little boys to feel protected and not have nightmares or scream. He is doing his job as the leader/chief of the group.

the huts hes building for the "littleuns" keep falling
Technically he has all of the choir boys on his side. But his chief assistant would be Roger.
it was Simon.
In Chapter 3, Ralph, Simon, and Jack were all suppose to help with building the huts, however Jack felt that hunting was more important.
Everybody helped with the construction of the first hut. But then the enthusiasm died down and it was only Ralph and Simon that would build the shelters. Simon also wandered off for long periods of time in the forest. Piggy never helped because he had asthma, which the boys called "ass-mar". The littluns just played and swam all day. Jack and his Hunters were too busy hunting or watching the signal fire.
