5. Rest!
Sleep and rest are essential so that you can keep showing up as your best teacher self for your pupils.
Rest is not idle, not wasteful. Sometimes rest is the most productive thing you can do.
Erika Layne

If they can understand and respect your boundaries and strategies, they will learn to craft their own.
