Before you can help children deal with their stress, you also must learn how to cope with stress yourself and the feelings that accompany it.”
~Dr. Donna Housman
Early childhood educators have always been superheroes, tasked with the single most important role, aside from
parents, in a child’s early development and education: introducing the rules of the road for life. Your work is one
of the most rewarding in education, one that you cherish most days, but one that also brings great stress. There is a lot of pressure squarely on your shoulders. The impact that stress and anxiety have on you takes a toll, not only on your mental health and well-being but also on your ability to teach—and your students’ ability to learn.

At Housman Institute, we believe our role is to nurture the social, emotional, and cognitive well-being of all students and educators without bias. It is critical that every child feel recognized and validated from their earliest days—to understand that their voice matters, regardless of background or experience and is being heard. We listen to, respect and support the needs of our educators as we recognize their critical role in a child's emotional growth and development. Together we need to begin the important work to help all our children and educators, as we move toward a more equitable environment for early learning, setting the stage for the building blocks of empathy and conflict resolution, and a more equitable future for us all.
