Hands are for greeting, playing, applauding, counting, helping others, creating things, keeping us safe. There are many alternative ways to handle our emotions without resorting to aggressive behavior.
With the help of this book, children will understand that violence never brings good outcomes. Every child can use their hands to do fun and constructive things, to tame intense feelings of anger or jealousy by finding alternative solutions when they feel like hitting someone. How? By jumping, painting, talking... The texts are simple and short so they can be read aloud by a child, a group, or a class. The charming illustrations and the immediacy of the phrases guide children in adopting basic rules of good behavior.
At the end of the book, adults will find topics for discussion and activities they can carry out with the children.
