Whatever your role, because you work with troubled kids, that means you must be… New Book – Photo courtesy of ©123rf/Ion Chiosea (adapted)- A caring person. You wouldn’t do the job otherwise. That also means…
- You probably don’t care for yourself as much as you should!
LOOKING AFTER YOU IS JUST AS IMPORTANT AS CARING FOR THE KIDS AT WORK
Why? Because if you’re not on top form, you can’t do the best possible job for them. And that’s what this is all about – the children and young people themselves. If, like me, you want to be the best version of yourself so you can really help the kids you work with – then you need to take better care of you. That’s why I’ve pulled together this little book on self-care. It’s called:“Looking After No.1 – Self-Care for People Working with Troubled Children.”
A common mistake we all make…
Those who care for others often neglect themselves, which takes away from their effectiveness with the kids they serve. This book shows why this is a mistake and how we can better “Look After No.1.” Learn…- The need for honesty about the impact of work
- The importance of remembering our “why”
- How to beat burnout
- Practical hacks for doing better self-care
- Tips for building self-care into your routine
- How to enlist the support of others
Most of this material is available for free on the website in different blog posts – but not all of it.
That’s why it’s only £2.97 to buy in eBook or £3.97 in paperback! And it’s a lot easier to have it all in one place. So why not check it out. (AUDIOBOOK version coming soon – watch this space!)
I hope you enjoy it!
Cheers,
