Words Are Not for Hurting

Do you know it takes only 26 letters to make millions of words?

You know lots of words. 

Who listens when you talk?

Your family, your friends, your teachers ... And pets too.


This is a great book among Elizabeth Verdick's Best Behavior series, especially for children between 4 to 7 while building up vocabularies and increasing awareness of how much words matter.

The book highlights the power of words, why children should take responsibility for what they say, as well as thinking before speaking. 

It also illustrates the connection between hurtful words and feelings of anger, sadness, and regret. And the solution of using simple, yet powerful phrase, "I'm sorry!" to help.

This is a great coaching tool to teach children why words matter and how to use them in a positive way. 

I strongly recommend this book to every child from K2 and up.
