    Letting them express their feelings with words, listening actively helps. Sometimes they don’t know how to describe their feelings and then I show them the chart with the different faces and let them point with one describes the emotion they are feeling. Often after actively listening to them, automatically they feel better.

    Talk to the people who understand the way I am feeling always helps. It can be a college or the people I trust to give me the motivation I need. I also take a break, 3v3n if is just for one day to do things I love. Exercise helps me too.

    I take a deep breath and take a sip of my coffee if I can. I also have an essential oil that I like to smell, if I do not have this then I walk away for a moment.

    Give them quality time, children really know how to appreciate that. Time to listen to them, to play with them, even if it is for a brief moment, give them your full attention.

    I think they are very important in emergency cases or illnesses. Some of the policies apply to us and how to maintain our work environment healthy. They are also important policies in how to handle situations with children and negative behaviors.

    Incorporate short movement breaks throughout lessons, time to sing and dance, walking through different centers and of course outside time like running, climbing, crawling and jumping are always fun.

    Too many concerns about the children’s safety, Social media and predators, bullieng, drugs and alcohol, right now in middle school the vaping, violence and shootings….. with smaller kids everything because they are not aware of danger, they can get hurt easily by climbing or running. 8 want to be able to have at all times full attention to them…

    I think it starts with my attitude, being always polite and welcoming, very transparent to maintain clear communication with the parents. I also have to be well informed to help them in case they need it. Being emphatic helps because it shows that I really care. Provide resources if needed.

    The 3 things I will want most would be:

    1. Safety and nurturing

    2. Patience and acceptance

    3.help them by learning to become their best self.

    The 3 things I would be afraid:

    1. Being neglect or abused.

    2. Being indifferent by not acknowledging their needs or emotions.

    3. Being not provided with good opportunities in education.

  • One idea is to keep children engaged in hands on activities, they really love to create, for 3xample kinetic sand or play do. Ask lots of open ended questions develops their imagination and is good for learning vocabulary. They like to explore the nature, this gives us the opportunity to create some lessons outside.

    It is important to provide consistency in the routines such as arriving time, bathroom time, clean up time, nap time, learning time and so on. It is important to build independence and confidence and provides them with comfort and security.
