Teaching kids to be kind and empathetic |
As a young mother I first read the book, How Full Is Your Bucket, by Tom Rath and Donald Clifton for a book club. I don't recall if I picked the book or if it was assigned, but I loved it right away. At that time of my life I was knee deep in diapers, nursing, chasing babies, and desperately trying to keep my sanity while my husband was preoccupied with grad school. 4 kids in 5 years, was a bit overwhelming. I appreciated right away how the book helped me to focus on the positive parts of our lives and how we can help others to be happy as well. I know that self-help books often get a bad rap, but I love them! They make me feel good and motivated, so where's the wrong in that? Good stuff!
