Wrong answer.....
"You are holding a cup of coffee when someone comes along and bumps into you or shakes your arm, making you spill your coffee everywhere.
Why did you spill the coffee?
"Well because someone bumped into me, of course!"
Wrong answer.
You spilled the coffee because there was _coffee_ in your cup.
Had there been tea in the cup, you would have spilled _tea_.
*Whatever is inside the cup, is what will spill out.*
Therefore, when life comes along and shakes you (which WILL happen), whatever is inside you will come out. It's easy to fake it, until you get rattled.
*So we have to ask ourselves... “what's in my cup?"
When life gets tough, what spills over?
Joy, gratefulness, peace and humility?
Or anger, bitterness, harsh words and reactions?
You choose!
Today let's work towards filling our cups with gratitude, forgiveness, joy, words of affirmation; and kindness, gentleness and love for others."
Group Connections
Resource Network
"Connect to a resource is defined as giving detailed, customized information or a specific referral to parent(s), primary caregivers, or families about medical, dental, mental health, educational, social service, recreational, and enrichment resources in the community or suggesting that a specific assessment or community service could support the family in addressing an identified need or goal."
So when you give specific information about something to a family (i.e. the Roll and Read is on Sunday, September 24th from 2 to 4 p.m.) that is connecting them to a resource.
If you give information like "the library has storytime" that is giving information about a resource.
You need to document those in your write up accordingly.
