I'm typically a very, very patient person. I think it's one of the things that helps me have good interactions with children. However, there was a time when I became very overwhelmed. I never felt I would harm a child, I just felt overwhelmed. I sat on the floor and helped the child calm down and also calmed myself down in the process.

I have never really felt the need to harm a child. In a moment that I am stressed I just make a small mental list of pros and cons to how I could react and pick the best one.

I work in a Special Needs classroom so if I’m working with a student that is difficult I will ask for help from someone that has worked with them for suggestions or ask someone else to take over

One of my strengths is patience, therefore I would never use any form of negative behavior towards a child/children. Personally, I always recommend people that are losing their patience to take a deep breath as this can be very helpful in any situation, children related or not.

I have never felt that I might harm a child. If I start feeling overwhelmed or over-stressed, I take a couple deep breaths and re-focus on how to help the kids calm down, and if necessary ask a co-worker to watch my class for a few minutes so I can take a short break.

Though I never feel like harming a child, one in particular bit me hard twice at different times while I was rocking her. The second time I reacted reflexively with a tap on her arm and strong "no, thank you, don't bite". I was surprised I had reactions so automatically and of course the overriding mindset to not harm her.
I've found a few effective ways to help me in stressful situations. To start, I take some deep breaths to get the oxygen flowing to improve appropriate responses, remind myself these are children who need to be taught and they are just discovering are their boundaries.

I have never felt the need to harm a child but when i feel a child is not listening or responding to my direction i ask for help from another teacher. Some times direction from an adult that the child is less familiar with can be more effective than from a teacher or adult that the child is very used to.
