STRATEGIES FOR MANAGING STRESS AND AGGRESSION IN PRESCHOOL EDUCATORS

Abstract

This article explores effective strategies for managing stress and aggression among preschool educators. The high demands of early childhood education can lead to emotional exhaustion, burnout, and aggressive behaviors, which may negatively impact both educators and children. The study examines psychological and organizational approaches, including stress management techniques, emotional regulation, mindfulness practices, collaborative support systems, and professional development programs. Emphasis is placed on creating a positive work environment, enhancing educators’ emotional intelligence, and implementing practical interventions to reduce stress and aggressive behaviors. The findings suggest that a combination of individual and institutional strategies significantly improves educators’ well-being and contributes to a more harmonious educational setting.
