Listen to today's podcast...
I find it very sad when I see someone who was dedicated and enthusiastic about their job, leaves because of burnout.
This is often the case in the childcare profession.
Burnout is a state of fatigue, while feeling frustrated, overworked and unappreciated. It combines physical, emotional and mental symptoms.
Workplace stress and burnout is very high in the childcare profession due to the stress of managing multiple children and their behaviours, the relationships with parents and peers, and often there is a lack of recognition and appreciation for what should be seen as such an important role in our society.
Take One Action Today To Build Your #Resiliency!
So Here are today’s Tips For Building Resiliency and Celebrating Childcare Professionals Day:
As a childcare professional be aware of the problem and recognize the danger signs of burnout, then take care of your health.
Learn long-term and short-term relaxation and stretching strategies.
Be realistic about goals and expectations. Set limits.
Develop strong communication skills and strategies for dealing with children, parents and peers.
Develop activities that are separate from work.
As a parent whose child is looked after by a childcare professional:
Remember that parenting isn`t easy at the best of times, neither is looking after someone else`s child. Not everything will be perfect or dealt with exactly as you would like it to be.
Let go of minor annoyances and deal appropriately and respectfully with those issues that must be addressed.
My children are many years out of their daycare setting, but they still have warm feelings for their childcare providers when they see them in person or when we look at pictures from the past. So to JoAnne, Clare, Sara, Kelly, Julie, and Darlene – many thanks for taking good care of my boys.
