HANDS ARE
NOT FOR HITTING
Martine Agassi, Ph.D.
“Hands are not for hitting. Hands are for saying hello. . . .” And for playing,
creating, helping, working, learning, encouraging, taking care of oneself, and so many
more good things. In this gentle, encouraging book, psychologist Martine Agassi helps
young children understand that they are capable of positive, loving actions. Simple words
and warm, inviting full-color illustrations reinforce the underlying concepts: that
violence is never okay, and kids can learn to manage their anger. Especially at an age
when children are interacting more with others and starting school, they need to know that
hitting is unacceptable. Words tell—and pictures show—the many wonderful things
kids can do with their hands instead of hitting.
Made to be read aloud, HANDS ARE NOT FOR HITTING also includes a special section for
adults, with ideas for things to talk about and activities to do together. Recommended for
anyone in a caring
relationship with a young child; perfect for day-care, preschool, kindergarten, and early
elementary school classrooms.40 pp., color illust., S/C, 9" x 9".
Ages 4–7.
