Going back to work soon

by Ash

Apr 14, 2012

I injured my shoulder playing with my students (ripped out a tendon) I'm going back into the classroom of 2-3 year olds, which I can't wait! I cant use my right hand/arm to blow my nose or anything, so helping with toileting/snacks...and a lot of other activities will be interesting. I'm just hopping that a child does not run into my arm and rip it out before it has a chance to fully heal!

Leah I think you will need to wear a colorful sling that is obvious to children. Talk about your hand, arm and shoulder. Make a big deal out of it and explain that you will need the children to not bump into you.

It's great to hear a teacher of 2-3 year old children who LOVES their work!

Best wishes

Ash This is good advice. On my doctor's orders though, I have leave my arm loose. When I was talking to the director, a preK girl snuck up and twisted the hand/arm back and out, luckily it didn't go too far. (this was 5 mins in to me being back).I will have to be hyper aware though. I did do the explaining but it will take a few reminders.
