Second Session
Bubbles and Boundaries: Teacher Self-Care for 2025
Patrick Sciambra
Tulane Infant Mental Health - Tikes Program
This presentation is intended for any and all early childhood educators. Teaching young children can be incredibly stressful! Research clearly shows that caregivers who are stressed are more likely to use harsh discipline. This session address stress management and self-care in a fun and educational way. Teachers will learn about stress and how it impacts both the brain and the body. Participants will then gain insight into how trauma impacts functioning, explore the importance of setting healthy boundaries, and finally will develop their own individualized self-care plan. We aim to support teachers in taking care of themselves, so they are better able to take care of the children in their classrooms!
