"Have You Filled a Bucket Today?"

Book

My cousins are using this book/behavior encouragement system with their sweet son, and got us a copy for the boys' 2nd bday. It's a bit over their heads yet, but I think by 2.5-3, they will be really excited about it. My cousin's son has a bucket that he places little ping pong balls into each time he "fills someone's bucket" (good behavior or a good deed) to help make the concept more concrete for him. When the bucket is full, he gets some sort of reward. His enthusiasm, cooperation, and sweetness are undeniable, so I will definitely be trying this with my boys, too. Plus, the book is really cute.

I thought it was a really cute little book and don't remember hearing about anyone here using it. Hope someone finds it interesting.

 

That's a cool idea! Thanks for sharing. We will definately have to check out this book.

We actually did an adult version of this at my school several years ago, it is a very neat concept!
