Background Lighting


I would like to preface this question by apologizing at how amatuerish this question must seem.

I have continuous lights lighting my background and strobes lighting my subject which is really mucking up my white balance even though I have the continous lights filtered.

I have 2 alien bee strobes and am ordering 2 more this evening. My question is how to set these up for my portrait work.

Most of what I have read says to position a light directly behind your subject, but I take pictures of mostly kids and that isn't possible.

Any help would be appreciated and I'm sure I'll have more questions.

Thank you in advance for your time and knowledge.

Amber
