Make Time for Yourself :)

Being a parent or a teacher to young children is the most satisfying job in the world. However, it can also be one of the most challenging and demanding jobs, even if you are doing everything right and your child seems to be catching on!

Therefore, it is very important that you give yourself time and take breaks every once in a while. These breaks also help you recharge before you get back to being with children.

Parents

Make exclusive time for yourself as often as possible to do anything you love - watching TV, listening to music, reading a book, visiting the spa, meeting friends and the like.Arrange for a family member or friend to watch over your child during these breaks. If you are a stay at home parent, it may be relatively easy for you to make time for yourself when your child is in school. However, if you work, you will have to think of other ways to make some time for yourself.

Teachers

Take it easy in class every once in a while. You do not have to spend every minute of every single day teaching children something. Allow children free play at times and sit down with a cup of tea in their play area. Just watch them have a good time playing and see how relaxed you feel!
