| Impact Report | Project Success (Gallup McKinley County Schools) Child Day Care Provider Stress Training Child care providers need assistance in acquiring continuing education credits to keep their home day care service in compliance with the state and federal policies. The home economist provides quality training in several areas for their licensure. “Taking the Edge Out of Stress” training was held at the EDC. Taking care of several children day after day can be very stressful therefore, learning to keep distress from draining one physically, emotionally and socially helps to keep away various symptoms like headaches, backaches, ulcers, diarrhea, depression lashing out, or withdrawing from others. During the workshop participants learn the difference between Good Stress/Bad Stress, distress, unmet needs and participated in several activities that help alleviate stress. In short, both children and adults experience stress, but there are ways to deal with it. Most adults give first priority to children, last priority to themselves. 26 women attended and learned to deal with stress by taking several approaches they learned and forgot about to maintain healthy composure throughout their daily routine. Evaluation showed that most of the participants had never had any training in this area. Many of the participants were surprised that the simplest things such as exercise can relieve stress. |
