Promoting Emotional Wellbeing in Early Years Staff cover

A practical resource for early years staff examining how to enhance their own emotional health and that of their colleagues

Banish stress from your workplace in this innovative, succinct guide to wellbeing for early years professionals. Easy to dip in and out of, the book provides practical ideas for feeling balanced and well at work, and gives tips on how to support your colleagues' wellbeing.Though children's wellbeing is high on the agenda for policy makers, the welfare of the professionals looking after them is often taken for granted. Sonia Mainstone-Cotton recognises that in order to enhance children's emotional wellbeing, it's vital that early years professionals are stress-free and emotionally well themselves. This is the first guide of its kind, offering succinct and practical guidance, tips and ideas for those working with young children on how to comfortably manage the pressures of their job, improve their work/life balance, and support the wellbeing of their colleagues. Easy to dip in and out of, this guide is an essential item for any early years staff room.
