Help kids understand their big emotions and respond without hitting
Strong feelings are okay—but hitting is not. In Hands Are Not for Hitting, children learn that hands do lots of wonderful things, like playing and helping out. Sometimes hands feel like hitting too. Through simple language and warm, engaging illustrations, this book teaches children that they can choose to respond with words instead. This supportive book shows kids ages 4–7 how to pause, identify their feelings, and use words to set boundaries or ask for help. With simple text and bright, inclusive illustrations, this book empowers children to manage their emotions, so everyone stays safe.
Part of the award-winning Best Behavior® series, this paperback edition helps children learn about their emotions and develop behavior skills they can carry with them for life.
- Gives children tools for responding nonviolently when they feel upset
- Encourages kids to appreciate the many wonderful things hands do for us
- Uses relatable, inclusive illustrations to show kids in everyday situations
- Expands on the themes in the board book with the same title
Hands Are Not for Hitting is a helpful resource for parents, caregivers, educators, and counselors who want to address violent acting out. The book can be read during emotional moments or as part of everyday routines, opening conversations and supporting children in building positive responses to their feelings. A special section for adults offers practical strategies for guiding kids toward self-awareness and setting boundaries without resorting to hitting. Great for children who read the board book edition and need an expanded reminder when behaviors resurface.
