🪣 Did you know that kindness works like filling a bucket? When we do something kind, we fill someone’s bucket, making them feel happy and valued. But unkind words or actions can empty their bucket, leaving them feeling sad or discouraged.
🌟 Teaching kids about bucket filling helps them understand how their words and actions impact others and encourages positive social skills!
Did you see our freebie of the month? A poster to help remind kids of actions that are bucket fillers versus actions that are bucket dippers? Check it out on our feed & grab it via the link in our bio!
