One of the things I miss most about working in a school is laughing and smiling with the children. Make it a habit to smile and laugh regularly. Seek out children who bring you joy and engage in conversations with them. You'll feel much better afterwards.
@Headteacherchat When we were in the first lockdown, the sound of the laughter of children who were attending school used to warm my heart. Nothing like it ( except maybe a cuddle with my dog 🐾🐾) !
@Headteacherchat I belly laughed once today, twice yesterday🤣🤣
@Headteacherchat Can I borrow your rose-tinted specs please?
@Headteacherchat So true! However, as people who worked in schools, this was our daily life. Outside of a school, doing the same isn't always welcomed! Some parents glare at you if you smile at or engage with their child in any way.
