    I think giving kids time to decompress from whatever stresses they may have is important, but can also include you, and doing activities with them in order to build trusting relationships they can come to when they are having stress, and can lighten their load so they don’t snap and break under the stress, and can instead bounce back.

    Being at their eye level, listening and conversing with them, acknowledging their presence, and including them in activities or conversations

    some examples might include asking simply about their day and what they had to eat last night for dinner. Showing them new things and again just simple communication back to them, preferably on their level so they feel listened to. Also dont hesitate to follow up with your questions the following day like, you had some trouble with the lesson yesterday, do you still need help understanding or going over anything

    I couldn’t agree more with the importance of validating children’s emotions. In my experience, creating a safe space for kids to express themselves and feel heard is paramount to nurturing them. Whenever my kids experience any emotion, whether it’s joy, anger, or sadness, I make sure to acknowledge and validate their feelings. Kids craft kits have been a fantastic tool in this journey. They provide my kids with a fun and creative outlet to express themselves.

    Asking the children what they did at home, and if they are sharing anything they are learning with their families.

    Some examples of respectful caregiving include talking to babies, explaining what you are doing and why, and adjusting your tone of voice and pace to the child’s level. You can also engage in responsive interactions by reading children’s cues and responding in ways that ensure that the child feels heard and valued.
