Shaping Little Minds

Self-care is something that is talked about pretty consistently but I feel like it’s especially important to hear this now. I’m not sure if this will end up airing before the quarantine is over, but self-care is not something that a teacher does well. Teachers are the kinds of people that always put everyone else’s needs in front of their own. From my own personal experience.. If a person doesn’t have some kind of self-care routine, their body will tell them loud and clear that they need one. When I put my work and my students in front of my own well-being, my body shuts down. Usually, I get sick or I suffer from a migraine for a few days -- either way, it’s no fun. 

What I cover in this Episode:

• Why Teacher Self-care is Important
• My experience not prioritizing self-care
• Self-Care Tips and tricks

I know the first days of stepping into a new environment and being introduced to everyone can be super scary and super intimidating. When you ask for help, you show those around you how much you care about what you are doing. 

Let’s put it this way: if you are a teacher who is starting your first teaching job and just graduated college, you’ll be able to relate to this. Let’s say you are in a college class and your professor is teaching you a theory related to education and then assigns you a paper on the theories you’ve learned so far. But… there’s a problem, you’re not really sure about the theory that you were just taught. What would you do? Would you go back to the library and BS your paper? Or would you go to the professor and ask him to go over it with you? 

What I cover in this Episode:

• Importance of asking for help
• Why you should ask for help in your first year of teaching

Welcome to the first episode of Shaping Little Minds Podcast!  This has been something that I’ve wanted to do since starting this business not too long ago and I am so excited to finally be here!  Today, I am going to dive into my background and how I got to where I am today. In this episode, I hope to show you that teachers, as a community, go through bumps along the way but in the end, hard work and learning throughout can get you to where you want to go.

What I cover in this episode:

• My journey in early childhood education
• My degrees
• My ‘why’ in this business
