Help kids tune in to the volume of their voices and respond to feelings without yelling
Big feelings like frustration and excitement can make us want to yell, but we can choose to use our indoor voices instead. In Voices Are Not for Yelling, children learn that it's okay to feel frustrated, angry, or excited--and that they can express those feelings calmly. Great for classrooms and to read at home, this reassuring book shows kids ages 4-7 how to pause, take deep breaths, and use words to communicate clearly and respectfully. With simple text and bright, inclusive illustrations, this book empowers children to manage their voices and express themselves in positive ways.
In kid-friendly terms, Voices Are Not for Yelling shows how strong emotions can be regulated with breathing, so we can use our words to get our needs met.
