Serve and return! Engage with the child in a meaningful way by playing, talking, and responding to any cues they may give you.

Kids usually connect well with pictures. Maybe show a child a chart of feelings with different facial expressions that correspond to each emotion. They can point to the one they feel like. Once we know how they are feeling, we should listen to them express these emotions.To help them regulate these feelings, have them take some deep breaths. Now brainstorm together a solution.

The biggest thing is probably connection to others. Having good relationships in your life with people you can rely on will help you de-stress. Another is self-care. Use any days off or breaks to relax and recharge.

I like to destress when I get home by having some time with my spouse. We watch a movie, cook dinner, and/or play video games. Also, a bit silly, but I love a good cup of hot chocolate.In the moment, definitely breathing techniques.

I would talk to my director immediately first. This way, I would keep her in the loop, and we can talk together about what to do next. I would probably talk to the child to get a better picture. If my director agrees, we would call CPS.

An approved crib, playpen, bassinet, or infant bed that is firm and flush to the edges with a tight-fitting sheet.

Incorporate movement into learning, like adding dances. Never discipline for being active when appropriate. Have active toys available, such as balls and hula hoops. Try doing kid stretches or yoga.

Use songs and dances, make it a fun game, and use fun colors and shapes.

I worry that some harm will come to them under my care that is out of my control or there was no way for me to prevent it. Very scary.

Keep open communication at all times, be proactive, be honest, don’t only go to them for concerns (celebrate good things as well.

The three things I would want are a quality academic education, support in emotional development, and health/safety.The three things I would fear are abuse/harm, an unsafe environment, and teachers who are unaccepting of diversity.

Kids love hands-on activities, anything they can touch to connect to the main topic. This could be messy science experiments with water or shaving cream, it could be learning about nature by going outside and actually seeing the trees they are learning about, or using fake fruit to play pretend at a grocery store.
