A creative blog on AdoptionBlog.com give helpful tips for parents who adopt special needs children, or children who have suffered some sort of trauma. The child's anxiety level is referred to as a "bucket", and tips such as "no multi-tasking" are offered to help you keep your child's own "bucket" from overflowing.

"...lessening the frustration and anxiety in her bucket is the best way to help her, and give her the opportunity to use her self-regulating skills."

The list includes both "do" and "do not" suggestions.
