Malcolm works in a preschool where he takes care of eighteen young children each morning. The children always have a lot of energy, and on some days, the children misbehave. Which quality is most important for Malcolm as he works in early childhood care?

Caring for eighteen energetic young children can be demanding, especially when some misbehave. Patience helps Malcolm respond calmly and appropriately, while stress-management skills help him handle challenging moments. Research, technology, and financial skills may be useful in other parts of the job, but they are not the most important qualities in this situation.
