Book Review : Hands Are Not For Hitting

Teaching toddlers about the concept of violence and how they are not suppose to hit others when they get frustrated can be very challenging. I have been trying to teach my son (who just entered the Terrible 2's stage) about this for a few months now. I ordered this book online and I believe it is a very good and effective tool which parents can use to help their child manage anger at an young age.

The book helps young children understand that violence is never okay and that they can manage their strong feelings (anger) and channel it to different things instead. It reiterates that each one is capable of positive, loving actions.

At an early age, especially when they are interacting with other kids, they need to understand that hitting is unacceptable. In this book, Wwrds tell- and the pictures show- the many wonderful things the hands can do instead of hitting.

"Hands are not for hitting...Hands are for...saying hello, playing, creating, helping, working, learning, encouraging...

Henri with the book... and his new Pororo training chopsticks! :)

I highly recommend you add this to your child's library :)
