Hands Are Not for Hitting

Purchase Hands Are Not for Hitting

Hands are for saying hello. And for playing, sharing, clapping, counting, helping, building, being kind, and staying safe.
There are so many good things hands can do. And so many ways to handle strong feelings without hitting.
This gentle, encouraging book helps young children understand these important concepts. Simple words and warm, inviting illustrations reinforce two main themes: violence is never okay, and every child is capable of positive, loving actions. Children learn and practice fun and constructive things their hands can do. They learn alternatives to hitting, from drawing pictures to jumping up and down, talking about feelings, and walking away.
Made to be read aloud, this book also includes a special section for adults, with ideas for things to talk about and activities to do together.
