A message from the Canton Bully Prevention Intervention Plan

How Full is Your Bucket?: Preventing bullying through kindness & respect.

The books How Full is Your Bucket for Kids by Tom Rath & Mary Reckmeyer, Have You Filled a Bucket Today (ages preK-9) and Growing up with a Bucket Full of Happiness: Three Rules for a Happier Life (ages 9 & up) by Carol McCloud all use the metaphor of a bucket being filled by the kind words and deeds we do for each other.  Using this metaphor we can teach our children how their actions, words, and tone-of voice affect others.  Talk to your children about the impact that their words and actions can have on others, and be mindful of the powerful message you send to your children through your own words and actions.

More information about the awareness and prevention of bullying can be found on the Canton Public School’s district webpage.
