It definitely helps to have someone outside of your realm of trauma to encourage and build you up. For me, that was my manager and my old work environment. They stood by me through some tough times and I appreciated that.
With kids, I strive to be a support to them as well and to stand with them. I don’t know their story or their home life, but I can try to be there for them in ways that I can as a teacher.

The cleaning and safety ones for sure. I would show what emergency plans we have in plan, the training our employees have, etc. I would also explain how many times a day we sanitize the surfaces.

I think that kids should have very limited screen time. We are inundated with screens all the time. YOu can’t exactly escape them, but you can put a limit how much time you spend on them. Since kids aren’t able to make those decisions on their own, you need to be there to support them in this.
The phones we use and screens we watch can be very addicting. I even find myself struggling with it as an adult. I believe it’s really helpful for kids to grow up without one. It’s not that technology in and of itself is bad. It’s just that it can be a time-waster. When kids are trying to develop, it could be a distraction from what’s really going on.

By taking time to connect with the kids one-on-one and pay attention to what interests them. Also, it’s important to get on their level and get excited or curious about whatever they’re looking at. Basically, you need to get into their world and show them that it is important to you. You can help support or guide them through this process.

Yes, I think it’s important to have a variety of thing for the kids to play with so that they don’t get bored and can stay active.
Also, it’s important to have an organized room so that it’s easier to clean and so that the children can play without it being chaotic.

Yes, I think it’s so good to validate their emotions and not shut them down.
