Giving children these skills and experiences at a young age can give them the type of resilience they need in young adulthood into the rest of their life

as an early childhood learning provider when i start feeling compassion the fatigue I typically take a few days off work to reset recharge and get back at it

[Will Pautler]

I look at my routines as of recent and see how I can improve them or steps I want to take to change and how I want to implement them. OR just have a stay at home weekend and completely recharge 🙂

Compassion fatigue is a common experience for those in caregiving roles, including early childhood learning providers. Here are some strategies to address compassion fatigue:

Self-care, seek Support, set Boundaries, communication, reflect and realign, engage in professional development, and seek professional help. 🙂

[Christin Cormier]

A few good strategies for a childcare provider dealing with stress are:

• calling upon colleagues for support or advice at difficult times.
• Working with a ‘buddy’ or mentor to develop strategies to reduce stress.
• Developing strong professional relationships and networks that will support their confidence and professional direction.
• Seeking support, advice and training from external sources.
• Participating in active play with children every day.

As an early childhood learning provider, What do you do when you start feeling compassion fatigue?

– When I start to feel compassion fatigue I need to take a moment step out or step to aside and breath try to relax on my own.

[Hailey-Rae Johnson]

I not only communicate to those around me but I also take time for myself. It is so important to remember that your mental health is just as important as your physical and if you were sick you would take the day. Sometimes just talking a day to refresh or even just sleep can fix so much.

[Sarah Ploium]

I enjoy having open communication about what’s going on and or getting ideas on how to handle the situation talking with coworkers through my boss, family, and friends.

I think you should find ways to be mindful.

when my depression and anxiety start decreasing rapidly and I feel like a literal slave

[jillian]

Id talk to someone and try to engage more with the students and do a mental health evaluation with myself when Im off and try to think of ways to better myself

[Sydney Weinberger]

Engage in self-care behaviors before it gets to that point but especially take special care of yourself during that time. Also, talk with coworkers about it. It can be a huge release of stress to just tell someone about your struggles. They know what you’re going through so talk with them!

Talking with someone about it so they know whats going on, sitting for a little while and taking a break. Or going for a walk to calm down and kind of refresh.
