HELP USTOBE BUCKETFILLERS!!

 

 

 

 

 

To encourage the demonstration of respect, we often talk about what it means to be a Bucket Filler or a Bucket Dipper. These terms are found in the book Have You Filled A Bucket Today?   by Carol McCloud. Each of us has an invisible bucket, which represents the good feelings we have about ourselves. Bucket Fillers are people who demonstrate positive character traits such as respect and kindness and fill our invisible buckets. Bucket Dippers are those who steal our good feelings with mean words and actions, sometimes without even meaning to do so.
