Book Synopsis



Nurture Positive Behaviors with the Best Behavior(R) Series

The toddler years are full of growth, smiles, and sweetness - but also hitting, kicking, tantrums, yelling, and nose-picking. This six-book board book set is thoughtfully crafted for children aged 1-4, helping them navigate their actions and emotions with simple words, lively full-color illustrations, and positive messages. Perfect for parents, grandparents, caregivers, and educators, every book includes helpful tips and ideas in the back to make learning about good behavior fun and engaging.

Books included in the boxed set:
  • Hands Are Not for Hitting: It's never too early to learn about the many good things hands can do. Simple words and charming pictures invite even the youngest children to use their hands for fun and caring actions and to understand that hitting is never okay.
  • Feet Are Not for Kicking: Help your little ones understand that feet are meant for fun activities like walking, running, and kicking balls or leaves --not people. In simple words and colorful pictures, this book helps children learn to use their feet for fun, not hurt others.
  • Noses Are Not for Picking: A gentle, humorous guide to help toddlers break the nose-picking habit and develop healthier hygiene practices. Kids learn the importance of using tissues and washing hands in a fun and memorable way.
  • Voices Are Not for Yelling: Toddlers are still learning to express their feelings. This book teaches them why it's better to use their "indoor voice" and how to calm down and ask for help so they can get what they need.
  • Waiting Is Not Forever: Toddlers can learn patience with simple strategies to make waiting easier. This book offers creative ideas to keep little ones engaged while they wait, promoting self-control and delayed gratification.
  • Words Are Not for Hurting: Children are known for speaking their minds. With gentle guidance, this book helps them choose helpful words and say two very important words--"I'm sorry"--when hurtful words come out before they can stop them.

The Best Behavior(R) Series is an invaluable addition to any child's library, helping to foster a lifetime of positive behavior and emotional growth.

Why Parents, Educators, and Caregivers Love the Best Behavior(R) Series:

These books are a trusted resource for teaching children about empathy, kindness, and healthy habits. With their engaging stories and vibrant illustrations, they make learning about good behavior a positive and enjoyable experience for both children and adults.
