Description

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. Part of the award-winning Best Behavior(R) series, this title helps young children develop communication and behavior skills they can carry with them for life.

  • Shows that using words and indoor voices can help us feel heard
  • Gives children ideas for calming themselves before they yell
  • Encourages kids to save loud voices for appropriate outdoor settings
  • Uses relatable, inclusive illustrations to show kids in everyday situations
  • Expands on the themes in the board book with the same title

Voices Are Not for Yelling is a helpful resource for parents, caregivers, educators, and counselors who want to encourage peaceful communication. The book can be read during emotional moments or as part of everyday routines, opening conversations and supporting children in building positive voice habits. A special section for adults offers practical strategies for guiding kids toward calm expression and setting healthy boundaries without resorting to yelling. Great for children who read the board book edition and need an expanded reminder when behaviors resurface.
