I am often one of those providers accused of having rainbows shooting out my arse by other providers on forums ... and I am cool with that I can joke about it ... it is not that I am not realistic to the negative aspects of my job and that the challenges working with children can have ... it is just that I am a firm believer that we attract the energy into our life by our FOCUS in life and the self talk and so forth we engage in.
IME if I focus on just venting about how challenging things are than chances are I am going to have more challenging children and client behavior ~ if I accept that yes that sucked and put strategies in place to minimize those challenges for the future than I have 'less challenges' .... so basically I prefer to keep my focus on what I have to be grateful for to keep my energy balanced on positive aspects of my job and put action plans in place to deal with the negative so they are not so 'negative' for me and just become small aspects to the over all day.
I personally am not lying or fooling anyone about my own reality of daycare cause well what good would that do anyone ~ we are here to support each other and grow our business and learn to thrive as professionals?
