English-Spanish board book helps toddlers learn skills for being
patient that make waiting easier for everyone. Toddlers live in the
moment. When they want something, they want it now. But learning
self-control and delayed gratification will set up young children
for success in school and in social settings. Practicing patience
is the key. With her trademark mix of empathy and encouragement,
author Elizabeth Verdick acknowledges that waiting can be
frustrating and offers toddlers simple ideas in English and Spanish
to make waiting easier. Little ones can use waiting time to watch
the world around them, listen to music, tell stories, sing songs,
whisper, play games, build with Legos, draw pictures, move or
stretch, and more. Children learn, "I can wait a while. I can do it
with a smile." In this ninth addition to the Best Behavior(R)
English-Spanish bilingual board book series, Marieka Heinlen's
vivid illustrations of young children interacting with their
caregivers and families bring warmth and fun to every page. The

Help autistic kids understand their unique gifts and needs and
learn strategies for daily living in a neurotypical world. This
positive, straightforward reference book offers kids with autism
spectrum disorder (ASD) their own comprehensive resource for both
understanding their condition and finding tools to cope with the
challenges they face every day. Freshly updated, the content
reflects changes in the understanding of ASD since the book was
first released, including clarification that Asperger's syndrome is
no longer a specific diagnosis and what this means for readers. The
book also features new stories of young people with autism and an
added chapter, "Tech Talk." Some children with ASD are gifted;
others struggle academically. Some are more introverted, while
others want to be social. Some get stuck on things, have intense
interests, or experience repeated motor movements like flapping or
pacing ( stims ). The Survival Guide for Kids with Autism Spectrum
Disorder covers all of these areas, with an emphasis on helping
children gain new self-understanding and self-acceptance. Meant to
be read with a parent, the book addresses questions ( What is ASD?
Why me? ) and provides strategies for communicating, staying safe
and smart online, making and keeping friends, and succeeding in
school. Body and brain basics highlight symptom management,
exercise, diet, hygiene, relaxation, sleep, and toileting. Emphasis
is placed on helping kids handle intense emotions and behaviors and
get support from family and their team of helpers when needed. The
book includes stories from real kids, fact boxes, helpful
checklists, and resources. Sections for parents offer additional
information.Survival Guides for Kids Helping Kids Help Themselves

Pets may not have words, but they can communicate. Paying attention
to an animal's cues--a joyful bark, a scary growl, a swishing
tail--can help a child understand what the animal is "saying" and
what an appropriate response might be. That's part of what this
book is about. But mostly it's about showing children how to love
pets gently--because pets are for loving, after all. Kids learn
that teasing isn't nice, that they can choose to be kind to
animals, and that if you want to touch someone else's pet, there's
one important rule you should know: Ask the owner first! A special
section for adults includes ideas for teaching kindness to animals,
activities, and discussion starters.
"Crunch crunch crunch. Teeth are strong and sharp. Crunch crunch
crunch. Teeth can help you chew. But teeth are not for biting.
Ouch! Biting hurts." Sooner or later, almost all young children
will bite someone--a friend, a parent, a sibling. This upbeat,
colorful, virtually indestructible book helps prevent biting and
teaches positive alternatives.
The companion to our best-selling "Hands Are Not for Hitting"
Board Book, "Teeth Are Not for Biting" gives reasons why children
might want to bite. Little mouths feel sore when new teeth come in;
sometimes kids bite when they're hungry, tired, cranky, frustrated,
angry, bored, distressed, or seeking attention. Author Elizabeth
Verdick suggests positive things children can do instead of biting:
chew a chewy toy, drink a cold drink, get a hug, tell a grown-up.
This book also includes helpful tips for parents and
caregivers.
Kids today need manners more than ever, and "Dude, That's Rude!"
makes it fun and easy to get some. Full-color cartoons and
kid-friendly text teach the basics of polite behavior in all kinds
of situations--at home, at school, in the bathroom, on the phone,
at the mall, and more. Kids learn Power Words to use and P.U. Words
to avoid, why their family deserves their best manners, and the
essentials of e-tiquette (politeness online). It seems like light
reading, but it's serious stuff: Manners are major social skills,
and this book gives kids a great start.
"Look at those feet! Aren't they sweet?" Yes--when they're walking,
standing, leaping and landing. And when they're kicking balls or
leaves. But not when they're kicking people!
In simple words and charming full-color illustrations, this book
helps little ones learn to use their feet for fun, not in anger or
frustration. It also includes tips for parents and caregivers on
how to help toddlers be sweet with their feet.
Learning to use the potty takes patience and practice, and this
charming, straightforward book helps pave the way. Young children
learn how to use the potty and why it's time to do so, while
gaining the courage and confidence to face this important milestone
in their lives. When little ones learn to "do what the big kids do"
(go, wipe, flush, wash their hands), they won't need a diaper
anymore--they'll have underwear under there Includes tips for
parents and caregivers from a children's health specialist.
Some of your words are kind. But some of them are not. Words are
not for hurting. What do hurtful words do?"
Children are known for speaking their minds. We can't expect them
to watch every word, but we can help them to understand that their
words affect other people. We can gently guide them to choose words
that are helpful instead of hurtful, and to say two very important
words--"I'm sorry"--when hurtful words come out before they can
stop them.
Like Free Spirit's earlier board books "Hands Are Not for Hitting
"and "Teeth Are Not for Biting," "Words Are Not for Hurting" helps
little ones learn big ideas: that they are responsible for what
they do and say; that their actions and words affect others; and
that they can make positive choices. Simple words and delightful
full-color illustrations make it perfect for reading aloud
one-on-one or in small groups. The book also includes helpful tips
for parents and caregivers.

big feelings that come with making mistakes, young children are
encouraged to think positively about their abilities and to keep
trying. A timely addition to the beloved Toddler ToolsⓇ series,
