While caring for young children is a joyful experience, it can also be a lot of hard work. When our days are busy in ECE classrooms, we can sometimes forget to take a moment for ourselves as caregivers. One way to make the most of these self-care moments is through the practice of mindfulness.
A free resource from Sesame Workshop shares a few simple and quick mindfulness practices to help caregivers feel happier, healthier, and more in control.
If you begin to feel yourself getting overwhelmed, perhaps during a difficult transition between daily activities or after you’ve helped a child navigate challenging behavior, try one of the strategies from Sesame Workshop’s free resource to help yourself reset. You might even invite the children in your care to join you!
