Have You Filled a Bucket Today: A Guide to Daily Happiness for Kids

"Bucket filling is easy. It doesn't cost any money. It doesn't take much time. It doesn't matter how young or old you are. Bucket filing makes everyone feel good." This popular book uses the metaphor of invisible buckets to describe self-esteem! Author Carol McCloud teaches kids that people feel good when the bucket is full and sad or angry when it’s empty. And her language about "filling" a bucket (through kindness, compassion, and appreciation of others) or “dipping” from a bucket (by being mean or exclusionary) helps kids understand how their actions affect others’ emotions.

With its simple prose and vivid illustrations featuring girls and boys from around the world, this heartwarming book encourages positive behavior as children see how rewarding it is to express daily kindness, appreciation, and love.

Younger kids can learn about bucket filling in Fill A Bucket: A Guide to Daily Happiness for Young Children for ages 2 to 6, while older kids can expand on the lessons with Growing Up With A Bucket Full of Happiness: Three Rules for a Happier Life for ages 8 and up.
