Book Name: Have You Filled a Bucket Today?: A Guide to Daily Happiness for Kids – by Carol McCloud
Why I love this book: I came across this during pandemic and this book was heart warming to read. While most of kids book focus on teaching material and abstract concepts and man-made constructs, this book focusses on emotional health and gives reality bite. What better way to teach kid to be kind and respectful to other living beings
Age group: Can start with toddlers once they can sit through short textual books as opposed to picture books or less textual baby books. Also good to use once your kid is verbal and can start speaking simple sentences. Follow your child’s lead.
follow-up activities: Practice empathy with your child and family and just generally 🙂
Other notes: Not Montessori because bucket is not real :), You can always start by saying bucket signifies our emotional health.
