Positive Energy

Have you ever walked into an emotionally toxic environment? You can feel it. Its poison seems to be in the air. Good teachers know how important it is to foster healthy relationships between children, but it is equally important to build positive relationships among the adults in educational settings, as well. Children pick up on negative energy between the adults that care for them, and challenging behavior exhibited by children can possibly be in response to a negative emotional environment in the classroom. Teachers and parents must be positive role models for creating healthy relationships! Exchange pleasant greetings, make eye contact, speak kindly, offer help and encouragement, and smile!

Positive energy is real, and it is vital to our health and wellbeing! Smile at someone today! :)
