I just love the concept of The Emotional Cup. It makes so much sense to me that children (and all of us!) have an internal "emotional cup" that needs to be filled with connection, play, and doing things they love to do and feel successful doing. When we do not have our cup filled often or fully enough, it also makes sense that we will feel stress or fatigue, or we may engage in misbehavior in an attempt to have our needs met. When we think about our internal state in this way, it is easy to see - we must fill our own cup, and work to fill children's cups! This can be done in big ways and small ways every day! (And as always, play, play, play!) This image is from upbility.net/blogs/news/the-emotional-cup - check it out for a free poster and more information!
