Understanding emotional wellbeing in early years settings

Case study

You have had a busy couple of months working extra days and nights as your organisation has been short of staff. Because of your shift patterns you have had problems getting enough sleep and been eating snack foods rather than healthy meals.
  1. What are your personal indicators that the last two months have resulted in a deterioration in your wellbeing?
  2. Why might this have negatively influenced your wellbeing?
  3. What would you do to positively influence your wellbeing?
  4. It is rare that there is just one way to respond to a scenario or situation, so do not consider that the response you have chosen to this scenario will be judged as right or wrong. Share your scenario with a work colleague and ask them to tell you if they think you have responded appropriately. Ask them to challenge your response if necessary. You do not need to submit this task for assessment unless asked to do so by your assessor.
