Did you know that your self-care is one of the most important aspects of your students’ emotional learning? It’s easier said than done, but taking good care of ourselves allows us to offer the best version of ourselves to those we serve. Emotional fatigue and burnout are common consequences of neglecting our own needs while extending support to others. But the double-edged sword here is that our students are internalizing this self-sacrificing, over-extending behavior, too. Children pick up on everything we do, so modeling good self-care routines and healthy boundaries is just as crucial as explicitly teaching students these skills. Between the ages of 0-7, children understand the world through their primary caregivers, so we owe it to students to practice all the great things we preach, like advocating for our own needs. We are thrilled to share with you a curated collection of Slumberkins Meditations, an article that is both easy to read and informative, and a Self-Care and Burn Out Quiz that will empower you to cultivate your emotional well-being throughout the school year. *This curriculum is a digital download only Show more
