How Full is Your Bucket?

Kelly Hines blogged about “Positive Strategies for Work and Life”
She included five tips for increasing positive interactions. This was a great blog, and I really enjoyed reading it! It stresses to focus on what kids are doing right, instead of what kids are doing wrong. The five tips are:

1.Prevent Bucket Dipping-it reminds us that it is important that we stop taking from those same buckets before we can work on filling the emotional buckets of people we meet.

2.Shine a light on what is right- this is focusing on the positive, and highlighting what has been done well.

3.Make best-friends

4.Give un-expectantly-(Kelly Hines had the idea of leaving sticky notes in her students cubbies, I think this is such a great idea of giving warm fuzzies)

5.Reverse the golden rule-The authors suggest changing the Golden Rule from “do unto others as you would have them do unto you” to “do unto others as they would have you do unto them.”
