Growing Up with a Bucket Full of Happiness: Three Rules for a Happier Life

I knew what I was getting in this book! Two years ago, I'd purchased three (3) of these with my own personal funds; the students that I'd shared this book with were so intrigued that they felt it was a must read for all of their peers! Growing Up with a ....... has made an excellent Small Group/ "Book Club" for my uprising middle school girls! They anticipate coming for more and I can see a sense of self -awareness and empowerment as we maneuvered through the pages!The book itself was an excellent price on Amazon. However, just when I thought I would double my order so that I might gift each girl with their own personal copy, I noticed that the savings and then some, were absorbed in shipping cost. That leads me to strongly consider purchasing locally before ordering with Amazon again.

This is a great book and teaches kids without them realizing it is a lesson. Got these for my grandsons. Love them!

This book is a great reminder for kids and adults to be kind. To always be aware of what they say and do to others. Teaches them to be a bucket filler, not a bucket dipper. A good reminder for everyone.

This book is a must read for all parents, teachers, children, teens...everyone. We need to understand that this kind of love and kindness is the only thing that is going to heal our world, one person at a time. You will learn how to help yourself and those closest to you be the best they can be in a really positive way. My friend's school district adopted this program (books at early and middle school years as well as adult) and it has been a really positive addition to their school programs. Imagine if each one of us became concerned about filling each other's buckets with kind words and deeds on a daily basis?

Read aloud fir elementary classroom.

My principal reads a page a day during her morning announcements. They have great messages that kids can related to. I bought one for myself to share with my own children.

I'm a k-5 PE teacher who also has the Health curriculum, my school has adopted the BUCKET FILLING program by Tim Roth and it's working wonderfully to create a cohesive, empathetic culture. All of the books are great but this one rocks!!Just sent this to staff and friends in education...Dave and I are reading it to 1-5th , we are on pg 25 and its inspired a huge language change for myself when dealing with conflicts and tons of conversations with not only our students but Dave and I and my family and friends this one is reverberating like and bassoon!!! Growing Up with a Bucket Full of Happiness: Three Rules for a Happier Life

I love this book and think it'd be great for all people to read and have an idea of. Helps to deal with bullying, negative nellies and chose good friends. My 8 year old daughter refers to the bucket over and over when describing her friendships. It's a simple read - I read it to my 5 year old to help her gain more control over her emotions and the pouting with "that hurt my feelings!" has slowed down. We all want to feel appreciated and to learn you need to give it to get it early in life is a Great Life Lesson.

This great story is perfect for children and adults.

Easy read for both child and parent. Really good to help children visualise their feelings and those of others.

This is one of those book every child as well as adult should read.gives a perspective on why people behave the way they behave

I loved this book as a resource to use with the other books. It goes more in depth then the little kid ones.

Thought this might be a bit cheesy, but it is just right. My 8 year old loves it and can't put it down. She has been struggling with low self-esteem and this book is certainly helping her make sense of friendships and 'playground politics'. We have already adopted the language in our household of 'filling your bucket' i.e. being kind to others and being careful not to 'bucket dip' i.e. not being mean. We are reading the final rule about using the lid and protecting your happiness. A lovely concept that my daughter has really embraced, making her less anxious about her friendships and building her self belief.
