Teachers of young children are charged with providing young children’s first experiences in group settings, and are responsible for children’s academic and social-emotional development, which includes helping children identify and manage their moods. Children intuitively follow the lead of their teacher; they set the tone for the classroom and can impact the mood of the children in their care. While those of us who adore working with young children find much joy in our profession, at times, teaching can be stressful. Even when teachers think they are not outwardly showing signs of stress, children may pick up on their teacher’s stress. One method for mitigating teacher stress and supporting children’s development is engaging in mindfulness practices.
