Kindteachersare people who make school at least partially better for kids.
Carey Arensberg is one of these teachers.
After witnessing her pupils struggling with self-care, she decided to create a so-called care closet.
Now, her students can take any products they need to get to flourish.
After all, they spend quite a big portion of their time with them.
There are manyreasonsfor parents neglect.
Then, theres poverty.
Sometimes what a parent lacks to properly parent ismoney.
Lacking money means they cannot buy their kids necessities for school and self-care.
Fortunately, there are teachers who are wired to help children.
They help them not only with their studies but with personal things too.
These teachers come up with various ways to help students in need.
Like this one, named Carey Arensberg, who came up with an ingenious idea to do that.
Shes not only a teacher, but a TikToker as well.
Her account@mrsarensberg4thhas over 400k followers.
Several teaching-related videos of hers are focused on what she calls the care closet.
Interestingly, haircare was the thing that gave the teacher thisidea.
In 2020, she noticed a student hiding everything except his eyes.
Apparently, he was ashamed of his unkempt hair.
Remember what we said about teachers being wired to help their students?
Well, thats when Careys teacher instincts kicked in.
She bought the needed products and helped to take care of hishair.
Thats when she thought that maybe she could do similar things with other kinds of products.
So, with time, she developed the care closet.
Providing products is one thing, but convincing children to take and use them is another.
Thats why she has crafted quite a convincing speech for it.
When someone online wondered how she introduced the closet to the kids, she posted the speech.
Thats why its there.
How thoughtful, right?
Additionally, she adds that no one should make fun of those who take what they need.
Theyre a classroom family and families shouldnt judge each other.
In the interview with us, Carey shared one of the stories about this impact.
Last year was an email that I received from a former student.
He had been out of my class for several years and was no longer at our elementary school.
The mission has started to be fulfilled.
In the interview, Carey said she already knows teachers who created their versions of the Care Closets.
She added that even the littlest bit of support can change someones life.
Thats so beautiful, isnt it?
