Caring for Self: A Workbook for Early Childhood Educator Wellbeing

Caring for Self: A Workbook for Early Childhood Educator Wellbeing supports early childhood educators in addressing the complexities of their health -- emotional, physical, cognitive, and social -- in the increasingly complex and changing landscape of early childhood. With reflective practice prompts and activities throughout, it shines a light on the emotional work of teaching and caring for young children while teaching skills to help burnout and compassion fatigue through resiliency practices and true self-care. By identifying their emotions around challenges, recognizing barriers and bridges to meeting their professional goals, and building their tool kit for self-care and mentoring, early childhood educators can increase their effectiveness while decreasing the workplace stress.
