It is more emotional labor to be controlled and diplomatic. We want you to recognize that you're doing it.
Teaching isn't just about lesson plans and grading papers. It's also about managing emotions, both your own and those of your students. In this episode of the Arkansas A.W.A.R.E. podcast, hosts Betsy Kindall, Nicole Fairchild, and Stacy Moore dive into the concept of emotional labor in education. They unpack what it means to constantly regulate your feelings to meet the needs of others, a common yet often overlooked aspect of teaching.
This emotional balancing act can be draining, leading to burnout and stress if not properly managed. But don't worry, the hosts offer practical tips for recognizing when you're running on empty and how to refill your emotional tank. From self-care routines to creating a personal plan for managing emotional labor, they cover it all with their signature blend of wit and wisdom.
Whether you're an educator, a parent, or just someone interested in mental health, this episode is packed with insights that will help you understand and manage the emotional demands of daily life. Tune in and discover how to keep your emotional well-being in check while making a positive impact on those around you.
