I find that talking to the child about what they’re feeling helps loads. In my program we keep plenty of books in our “cozy corner” (where kids can calm down during a tantrum) about emotions. We also keep dolls with emotional expressions and labels for the kids to help them recognize what their emotions look like.

My biggest worry when it comes to keeping children safe are things like school shootings or mistreatment outside of the daycare.

Provide clear and open communication. Make sure you clearly state your concern and find a solution everyone agrees with.

The three most important things I would want from my childs provider is to protect my child, accept my child, and help/support my child. The fear I would have would be mistreatment of my child, judgement/bullying of my child, and incorrect care for my child.
