Working with children can be physically and emotionally exhausting, and many caregivers spend so much time focused on the kids’ needs that they fail to take care of themselves. This often leads to stress and burnout as caregivers struggle to find time in their busy lives for self-care. The result? Stressed, anxious, drained, frustrated, and burnt out early learning professionals. Based on the books Finding Your Smile Again and Keeping Your Smile.
