    Talk with the child and really listen to them. Give them an identifier into what they are feeling. Show them ways to comfort and calm themselves. It can be breathing, it can be rubbing their feet. It can be finding space.

    Talk with friends/family/ counselor about what I am feeling. Ask for support and find other outlets for my feelings.

    Making sure i am healthy at every level (physically, emtionally, mentally, spirtually) really helps replenish my self allowing me to continue to nurture others. I also make it a point to vent and decompress each night with my partner.

    I would say be consistent in your daily routine, maintain safety, take time to have a one on one moment with each student each day, even if it is short. Actively listen, give the kids room to express themselves, and show genuine interest.

    For a two month old you need a firm tight fitting mattress with a snug fitting sheet. Space away from other cribs. No blankets or stuff animals in the crib. If the child seems cold add another layer of clothing before rest time.

    Having interactive songs and games such as duck duck goose or using a parachute gets the blood going. Also having lots of toy areas for kids to play. I really enjoy having stations for kids to able to try different things. Also having a toy rotation always helps.

    January 16, 2023 at 6:05 pm in reply to: Trainer Monitored Discussion – Discuss Safety Procedures

    During a tour I would show parents how to enter the school and to be sure to close the door behind them. Next i would point out the safety exits, fire extinguishers, first and first aid kit. After that I would show them how chemicals/cleaning supplies are stored away from children. I would have them see that each child has their own storage for clothing, and there own area in the fridge for alternative milks or breast milk. I would point out the safety procedures that are posted in the entrance, and show them where there emergency contact information would be stored.

    I would report to the head direct with my concerns and observations. Ask about the policy to report abuse or neglect. Then I would proceed with filing with CPS/DSHS.
