 Good repetition June 13, 2008
Repetition is a good tool for teaching kids to remember important lessons. This book does a good job of repeating that hands are not for hitting, and also suggests what hands ARE good for (holding hands to cross the street, etc.). My 4 year old loves this series of books and we refer to the text often in conversation with her to remind her of the important lessons.
Thank you! May 18, 2008
We have to read it frequently but it helps my toddler to address her feelings and her frustrations without hitting.
 good book for generating dialog January 19, 2008
I saw this book recently featured in an article in a print periodical about child development
We've recently had minor problems with our 4-year old son acting out after preschool on days when he had been picked on by other kids. We got the book and used it is a bedtime story. It generated good dialogue (as good as you get with a 4-year old) and it made him think before he acted. It gave him some tools to use with the more physical kids so he resolves the problem in the moment without resorting to aggression. Wthat he doesn't have to resort to acting out to make the behavior stop. I am glad that I purchased this book.
We bought also 'Words Are Not for Hurting' and that one was not as useful for generating dialog.
Great Book January 12, 2008
This book reminds kids of all the fun things they can do with their hands and what is unacceptable behavior. Easy to read with nice illustrations.
Good book November 5, 2007
This book is nice, but not fantastic.
I think I wanted more creativity in what hands are for...
