[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I absolutely think they're overdoing it.

My dd learned about "bucket filling" except all she got from it was that she needs her bucket filled and it's up to others to fill it. She constantly kept saying things to us like "it doesn't fill my bucket when I have to do chores." She misinterpreted so much. We had to talk about filling your own bucket and filling others buckets fills your too. You can't expect other people to fill your bucket.

It's just an example, there were so many other examples over the years. I really wish they'd teach resilience the most. Fix things yourself, you don't need others to be happy, moving past words that other people said because you know they aren't true or nice.

My kid was naturally anxious, so maybe they're the ones that get more anxious the more they learn. After learning about bullying, my dd was convinced everyone was "bullying" her when they didn't want to play. [/quote]

Ugh mine brought home the bullying thing too I agree that true bullying needs to be addressed, but I expect kids to lightly push or swat each other once in awhile without it being bullying or hitting. I do not agree that all kids have to allow others to play with them. Sometimes people don’t want to play with you and that’s ok. [/quote]
