MemberMarch 18, 2024 at 8:51 pmMany different types of breathing techniques have been very successful for me. Also, not putting a child in time out, but giving them a quiet and more private space to let out their emotions usually works for me, going with the child to allow them to talk to me without outside distractions has worked.

MemberMarch 30, 2024 at 3:40 pmI find that a regular, scheduled break or a quick minute or two in a quiet space helps to restore my calm and maintain my energy for working with children. This can be going to the office to make a copy or cup of tea. Time is not as important as the ability to simply step away from the classroom activity briefly.

MemberApril 4, 2024 at 10:10 pmSometimes I find in a class headphones to cancel out noise works if a child is stressed or overstimulated. Breathing. Sometimes going and hugging a pillow or stuffy. Or if a need to release anger, throwing the pillows into a safe corner.

MemberApril 11, 2024 at 4:18 pmThe best techniques I have for dealing with stress is deep breathing and remembering to take time for myself and do things for me. It’s good to like your job but not get consumed by it.
