Working with children is very rewarding and very emotional work. Are there any techniques you’ve found to release stress?
I like to listen to music, lay down and breathe, go on a walk or bike ride with my dog, watch a show, nap or play sports

In these situations, it is best to remember that this is a job, and the job is to keep the child safe and well in order to relieve stress.

Early Education is some of the most challenging work, kids are learning social and emotional tools that will be used the rest of their lives, however this is still exceptionally challenging and high stress work.

Don’t hesitate to ask for help when it is necessary.

Taking deep breaths to calm yourself, listening to music, or drawing
