Narrative:
Training from XA00 am to XB00 am. Ewr final vector. Bad wind conditions. Trainee got into trouble. I took frequency for about 20 min to clear up final and ended up with several 'separation errors' north of teb between 3000 MSL and 5000 MSL. The problem was caused by lack of control with number of inbound aircraft. In trail restrictions were needed inbound and, of course, were not used.
