Always observe the kids’ behaviors over time and since they’re young, they probably won’t identify what their emotions are at that moment, but you can notice it and help by listening to them and being attentive.

Pray that I’m going to be okay no matter how hard a day it is at work, deep breathing. When in the moment being stressed because of crying, don’t let the kids see that.

spend so much time playing with, speaking to, and listening to the kids. but don’t be afraid to be assertive. they may get upset, and that’s okay, but they will know boundaries and what is okay or not okay if you keep being assertive with them.

make up a song about healthy habits and it will be more likely for the children to remember it and they will be more excited to do things.

abusive and non-attentive teachers are big worries I have for children’s safety. School shootings are a big thing nowadays as well too.

good components for a learning area would be something comfortable, make sure every student feels welcomed and safe in that space, learning items are accessible.

I would try to understand their reason of why it continues to happen every day, and let them know 20 minutes isn’t *that* long but in a childcare setting, it is quite some time and can interfere with the staff’s schedule and other children in the facility. If it then still happens after constant reminders, I would let the director know and…
