Voices Are Not for Yelling (Best Behavior®)

As parents and teachers know, yelling comes naturally to children. This friendly, encouraging book, geared to preschool and primary children, introduces and reinforces where and when to use an €œindoor voice€ or an €œoutdoor voice.€ In classic Best Behavior style the author tells young readers, €œYour voice is a powerful tool. How you use it is up to you.€ Vivid illustrations show the times and places for an indoor voice, the ways people ask us to quiet our voices, and times when yelling might occur. €œWhat happens if you€re mad or frustrated or really, really excited? Your voice gets louder and LOUDER.€ But yelling hurts people€s ears and feelings. Children learn that they can quiet their voice and use their words to talk about a problem. €œThink before you yell, and use your words well!€ Includes a special section for parents and caregivers with activities and discussion starters.

The Best Behavior series uses simple words and delightful full-color illustrations to guide children to choose peaceful, positive behaviors. Select titles are available in two versions: a durable board book for ages baby€“preschool, and a longer, more in-depth paperback for ages 4€“7. Kids, parents, and teachers love these award-winning books. All include helpful tips and ideas for parents and caregivers.
