I’ve just come back from a couple of days at The Independent School Show in London where I took the bucket for a live explanation and discussion with parents and children attending the show.
I wanted to share the visual with you and the examples of bucket emptying activities the children shared with me.
You can download your own bucket resource from my free resource library and to go through this with your child or teen. If they aren’t sure what fills their bucket, I’d recommend they journal for a week and see what comes up for them.

Today's bucket emptying episode is a new tool that you can add to your parenting toolkit. It won't necessarily work every single time, but it's a powerful tool that to have in your armoury and it is to sow the seed.
The idea behind sowing the seed is to park the approach that you may well have used most traditionally around nagging and reminding our children and our teens that we've said the same thing repeatedly and instead we start sowing small seeds. Join me as I explain how to use it.

In today’s bucket emptying episode I'm talking about the thing I believe can have the biggest impact to us as parents in terms of emptying our bucket and that's around boundaries for your child or teen.
It might help to think of boundaries as lanes our children travel along, sometimes we may let them widen whilst in certain situations you may need to narrow the lane to keep your child safe.
Join me as I share my practical tips to help you set boundaries with confidence.

Today I’m sharing a valuable bucket-emptying tip with you all - the power of saying no!
In our multifaceted roles as parents, employees, managers, children, siblings, and more, the ability to say no is crucial in preventing overwhelm and enabling us to focus on what truly matters.
Many of us struggle with turning down opportunities or requests, but learning to gracefully decline can free up valuable time and energy for the things that align with our priorities.
