I have been busy writing content for my first self-paced online workshop on my Skool Account. The anticipated release date is this week Friday, April 24.
The topic of the workshop is Respectful Transitions in the Infant Classroom. The workshop looks at the overall classroom vibe as a base for respectful transitions as well as specific situations & solutions.
The workshop dives deep into the teacher's role in creating a calm classroom vibe. Once aspect discussed is how Inner Child Wounds are triggered while working with children and families.
Our Inner Child & Triggers Working with Children
"Our inner child is the wounded aspect of our early childhood experience. Some examples of common inner child wounds include unmet emotional needs, rejection, neglect, trauma, abandonment, betrayal, lack of love, humiliation, injustice, etc. These wounds carry into adulthood and shape our adult behaviors.
We all carry our inner child within us. Working with children & families can trigger inner child wounds in teachers. Isn't it ironic that working with children can trigger our inner child wounds while we simultaneously strive to prevent creating inner child wounds for the children in our care?
This class is not meant to address your inner child issues, but to create awareness. It is included in this class to help us understand ourselves as teachers, and the reasons some behaviors trigger us more than others."
