Help your child express feelings through words, rather than hitting

‘Hitting Hurts’ helps children name their emotions and communicate frustration in healthy ways. It teaches “no hitting” through the story of a child who learns about what she can do — not just what she can’t do — when feeling upset. 

Research shows that books with realistic images increase children’s understanding of context and their ability to connect to information. The Tricky Topic Books guide your family through common challenges, meeting your child at their level with the right vocabulary and number of words.
