Hands are powerful, amazing tools for playing . . . but hands are not for hitting our friends and family!

Selected for the Barack Obama Presidential Library

Wherever Laila goes, her adorable brother Reggie is always close behind. At school, church, even the bath! But on a trip to the zoo, when Laila feels too excited, impatient, overwhelmed, or reluctant to leave, her body tells her it's time to hit! How can Laila find better ways to express her emotions and be safe with her hands?

Written by Preschool Therapist Ryan Allen, this funny, helpful book, will guide children to recognize the signs that they are about to hit, and teaches great techniques and positive alternatives to stay safe and have fun. There are many reasons why kids hit, from boredom to excitement, impatience to frustration, this is a common experience for many toddlers. But with a Gentle Parenting approach, there are equally many ways to identify, soothe, and change behaviors.
