Lakeshore Learning- Mindset Matters: How Do I Shift Mine When I Need To?- Live Webinar
–
December 13, 2021We need Early Childhood Educators more than ever right now. They play a critical role in a child’s development, yet they are dealing with their own feelings of stress and burnout at unprecedented levels. This session will honor this mindset, validate these feelings, and then explore small actions that can be done during the workday to help shift this mindset, if needed. Utilizing these strategies, educators can work through the feelings of burnout to care for children and continue loving the field in which they work. We can’t afford to lose the valuable professionals educating and caring for young children.
