Who couldn't use a boost? It's great self care!
My attitude boost for today is
Use humor!
Model for kids how to laugh at yourself. Laugh with them. Teach them about appropriate humor. Have some fun with them. I love to laugh. And we know that laughter is good medicine--releases happy hormones in the brain and other good stuff.
I wish I would write down the "accidental/unexpected humor" that occurs in my classroom. Just last week I was taking a day because my husband was being "put to sleep" for some medical tests. The day before I was going to be out one of my students asked, "What's happening to your husband?" Before I could respond, another student said, "He's being put down." I laughed so hard that tears were forming in the corners of my eyes! That was the funniest moment in my day--and I got to share it with kids!
