This is a great book, if you want your child to think of all kinds of great things you can do with your hands.but.If you are looking for a book to teach your child WHY you should not hit or anything about feeling and emotions involve in hitting than this is NOT the book for you.
I would say her hitting decreased by well over 90% within a few days. We read it together, and she loved it right away. I bought this book because my 2-year-old little girl was hitting me on occasion. Now, months later, she very seldom hits. We read it a few times a day for several days, and I noticed a difference in her behavior from the get-go. If she hit or if she looked like she was going to, I would just tell her, "Hands are not for hitting" just like the book says. When she does we pull this book out again and read it together. Anyone with a small child who hits should try this book.
When he hits me I will take his hand and say "Hands are not for hitting what are hands for". My son was 14 months old when he got this book and it was a gift from god. and start doing everything it said in the book. He would always be pulling my hair and slapping my face. So after we read it a few times he understood. He is 17 months now and doesn't do it anymore. I can't wait to get him the other one Teeth are not for bitting.
Such a creative and colorful book. my 2 year old loves reading it with me.
My 19 month old son LOVES this book. It's one of his favorites. It is simple but the message is powerful and perfect for little hitters. I would recommend it to everyone that is struggling with hitting behaviors.
