Description

The landmark book that teaches children the positive uses of hands!

Hands are made for many wonderful things: for greeting, drawing, playing, building, and above all, for hugging. But one thing is certain: hands are not for hitting!

Martine Agassi's book is one of the most classic and essential tools for parents and educators worldwide. With simple, clear words and tender illustrations, it helps young children understand that violence is not a solution and encourages them to express difficult emotions in positive ways.

Theme: Anger management, Aggression, Empathy, Positive behavior

Style: Simple, direct, with a positive and encouraging approach.

Age: 4+ years old

Suitable for:

All preschool children who are at the stage where they may use their hands to hit. It is the ideal way to start a discussion about boundaries, respect, and acceptable ways to express anger or frustration.

Why This Book Is Special:

  • It has a positive approach: It does not focus on punishment, but on positive alternatives, showing children all the creative and beautiful uses of hands.
  • It is written by an expert: Martine Agassi is a clinical psychologist, and the book is based on proven educational principles.
  • Includes a guide for adults: At the end of the book there are useful tips and activity ideas that parents and teachers can do with children.
  • Its language and illustrations are perfectly adapted to the needs and understanding of young children.

With the book you can:

  • Discuss: What else can we do with our hands instead of hitting? How do we feel when someone hits us?
  • Play: Make a list of all the "good jobs" that hands do (cooking, writing, caressing, building towers).
  • Create: Make a handprint of the child on a piece of paper and write all their favorite uses of their hands around it.

  • Too much information on every page to the point that even I as an adult get lost and tired reading it.... I would say it's chaotic, although of course the meaning and essence are nice, but no, I wouldn't recommend it

  • A nice book that should have been in schools for children to read! No hand would need to counter another hit if it knew this basic rule!

    It is very good. I had a reason and ordered it myself as a mom... Which of course doesn't benefit the little one and he doesn't choose it often for reading.

    The kids really liked it... it describes very nicely how our hands are for beautiful things and not for hitting, as the title suggests.
