Description

A book-tool against violence, written by children themselves!

What do we do when little hands get angry and want to hit? The book "Hands don't hit, hands love" answers this difficult question in the simplest, most tender, and creative way. Through simple phrases and drawings, it shows children all the wonderful ways they can use their hands: to hug, to play, to create, and to help.

This book is a valuable educational tool that was created in a classroom by the students of the 1st All-Day Kindergarten of Palaiokastro, offering an authentic and effective approach to a very common problem in preschool age.

  • Theme: Anger management, Empathy, Violence, Positive behavior
  • Style: Simple, direct, with a positive approach.
  • Age: 2+ years

Suitable for:

Preschool children who exhibit aggressive behavior (hitting, pushing) and for all parents and educators who are looking for a gentle and constructive way to teach empathy and respect. It is ideal for starting a discussion in the classroom or at home about managing difficult emotions.

Why This Book Is Special:

  • It is written by children for children: The language and ideas come from the young students themselves, making the message completely understandable and familiar.
  • It has a positive approach: It does not focus only on prohibition ("don't hit"), but mainly on positive alternatives ("hands love, help, create").
  • It is a proven educational tool, as it was created within the framework of a school program for the prevention of violence.
  • Its simple and clear messages are repeated, helping children to internalize them.

With the book you can:

  • Discuss: What else can we do with our hands instead of hitting? How does our friend feel when we hit them?
  • Play: Do pantomime with all the beautiful uses of hands (building, painting, hugging, waving).
  • Create: Make your own drawings about what hands "do" and "do not do".

    Excellent book, when I got it I thought it might be ignored because of the age, as my child was only 18 months old, but from the very first moment he loved it. He asks for it almost every day and learned the word "little heart" from this book.

    It is not random that it has been awarded! I have been reading it to my little one since she was 1.5 years old.. It is written in such simple language that the message definitely gets through to the subconscious. And the illustrations help a lot in attracting attention
