I know I hear that all the time from patents, friends etc. It takes a lot of energy but its so worth it I love working with them.
U never know what will come out of their mouth....brutaly honest.....lol
They are amazing and the smallest ones are still blowing my mind when u see what they can do and learn :0) rewarding.

Before this I worked in an industry with mashines so this is sooo much better.
Been doing it for 16 years.

I was an elementary and middle school teacher for 11 years before I went into school counseling. I thought I'd be an elementary counselor but got my first job in high school counseling. This coming year will be my fifth year doing that! So this fall I will start my 16th year as well. I student taught in a two year old room and that's where my own little man is. Fun to watch them and their energy!
Sounds really ambition :0) its a great job helping people and people like u are needed.
Its tuffer for kids today at school then it was when I grew up, so much stress and preasure.
Do u see a difference in ur job how kids are feeling today compare to years back?
I cans se a big difference just in the past 3 years
The kids have longer days and they bearly get to be home when they are sick. Some even have symptoms of stress at 3- 4 years. Crazy
Yes for sure!!! I remember my first year as a counselor I kept thinking about how much these kids have already been through at their age. High school is SO much different than when I went through it. If I had gone through what hey have at their age I would have never had the skills to survive. So sad for them and even more sad that little ones are going through the same thing. That shouldn't even be! I can't do much to protect my little guy from what he's going through, which as a professional advocate for children, kills me inside!
I know me too, we do all we can to make their time with us the best and after their needs.
But U can only do so much, it needs a change.
The children are the future and the least we can do is to give them the greatest start in life.
And the support needed as the get older.
I so agree!
