Words Are Not for Hurting cover

The older children get, the more words they know and can use—including hurtful words. This book teaches children that their words belong to them: They can think before they speak, then choose what to say and how to say it. It also explores positive ways to respond when others use unkind words and reinforces the importance of saying “I’m sorry.” Includes tips for parents and caregivers.

“This cheerful, instructive title highlights the power of words.” -- School Library Journal
“This is a must-have for every home and classroom. The author shares some excellent tips and ideas of how to further educate your child about the power of their words.” * Chasing Supermom blog *
