Children are known for speaking their minds. We can't expect them to watch every word, but we can help them to understand that their words affect other people and guide them towards words that are helpful rather than hurtful.  

Words Are Not for Hurting helps little ones learn big ideas: they are responsible for what they do and say; their actions and words affect others; and they can make positive choices. Simple words and delightful full-colour illustrations make it perfect for reading aloud one-on-one or in small groups.

The book also includes helpful tips for parents and caregivers.
