Filling or dipping?
We’ve been thinking about the importance of filling others’ buckets for a long time at our school. I’m not sure if the child in the picture here is filling a bucket or dipping from a bucket. Sometimes we don’t realise (or even think about) whether we are dipping from someone’s bucket. Yesterday we talked in class about how we could plan to do a little more bucket-filling. Some ideas some of us suggested were:
- smile
- invite someone to join in
- use good manners (Say, “Please,” & “Thank you.”)
- use polite words
- tell a friendly joke
- say, “Hello.”
I’m sure you have more ideas, and I’m also sure that if we make an effort to take some of these small steps, we will make our days and our relationships better.
