Send us a textWelcome to Chalkboard to Kitchen Table with Trish and Eileen! In this episode, we dive into the transformative power of positivity and its lasting effects on our relationships with children, partners, and even ourselves.   At the heart of our discussion is the "Magic 5:1 Ratio"—a research-backed principle showing that relationships thrive when positive interactions outweigh negative ones by at least five to one. This ratio helps foster resilience, emotional security, and a nurturing environment that helps kids and adults feel appreciated and supported.We also introduce the concept of "filling buckets," where each positive interaction fills an emotional “bucket” for ourselves and others. When we praise, encourage, or show appreciation, we’re actively filling someone’s bucket, promoting kindness, gratitude, and connection. On the flip side, negative moments can dip into those buckets, which is why balancing our interactions is essential. In this episode, we’ll share practical tips to incorporate more bucket-filling habits into our routines, from quick words of encouragement to small acts of kindness, helping our kids—and ourselves—flourish.Join us as we discover how positivity, the 5:1 ratio, and bucket-filling can transform everyday moments into powerful opportunities for growth and connection!  Tune in for insights and actionable steps to bring more positivity into your daily interactions, one encouraging word at a time!Welcome to the Table!
