The Positive Relationships Matter podcast was very enlightening. The Emotional Piggybank illustration was very impactful to me and memorable. The concept of deposits and withdrawals – WAGER – helped me to better understand how all my interactions with the children are either a deposit or a withdrawal. I appreciate Joanna sharing how she used this concept personally with her own daughter making it real and applicable. Moving forward I will implement the WAGER elements (Warmth, Acceptance, Genuineness, Empathy and Respect). I appreciate this tool and am grateful for all the ideas.
