Love love love. I seen the author speak at a conference and re read his work every few years. Self care is a must, to best care for others.

I related to this book so much, it's as if someone read my mind.
However it doesn't go into the stress management strategies deeply, I would have liked for it to be longer and maybe expand on some of the ideas that were shared, such as journaling.
But over all it's an important read for anyone working with children.

I love Jeff's books especially since he is a provider himself.
This book has wonderful ideas to help reduce stress for the child care provider.
