Baby Girl Miss Amanda Posted August 21, 2024 Report Posted August 21, 2024 I teach preschool. I'm great at my job. I work hard and my strength in inclusion and diversity. I struggle with grown-ups who don't do what's best for kids automatically even though I know I'm just gifted and blessed to see the marginalized. God is an amazing God and His love is so powerful it can and does reach the kids who come from the hardest places. We just need to obey when the Spirit says stop and sit on the floor with that kid right now, she/he needs you more than the table needs to be cleaned. Our whole center is changing management as we start the new school year and we are trying to find a way through. Too many staff are upset about stuff that doesn't matter. Who makes the files? Who keeps which papers? What day am I doing home visits? It's a lot of time wasted on conversations that won't help the children. I'm really tired of the adult head space. I want the kids to feel welcomed, accepted, part of a classroom community. Instead we are dealing with the stress of inner strife and refusing to be part of a team. Preschool is my safe place. My place of peace and rest and joy. I am asking for strength, courage, renew my spirt and refresh my soul. I need time to be little again too. Amanda 1
