Joy is a feeling of great pleasure and happiness. It seems as if this should be a given when discussing the subject of children and our roles in their lives, but often times as educators we see so many more emotions besides joy in our students. They come to school worried, scared, hungry, hurt, anxious, ..... We also come to school with our own worries and anxieties. However, we need to practice positivity and kindness not only for our students, but also for ourselves. Sometimes taking care of ourselves allows us to better take care of them. This is a lost concept. Parents, educators, caregivers of all types, I encourage you to be kind to yourself. Bring Joy into your own lives. The first part of joy and happiness for everyone in your life starts with you!!
