Children who interrupt often aren't trying to be rude--their thoughts just feel too important to hold in. My Mouth Is a Volcano! uses an empathetic, child-friendly approach to help young learners understand their feelings and practice listening and self-control.
Louis always interrupts! All of his thoughts are very important to him, and when he has something to say, his words rumble and grumble in his tummy, they wiggle and jiggle on his tongue, and then they push on his teeth right before he ERUPTS (or interrupts). His mouth is a volcano!
But when others begin to interrupt Louis, he learns how to respectfully wait for his turn to talk--and discovers a simple strategy to manage his volcanic words.
My Mouth Is a Volcano takes an empathetic approach to the habit of interrupting and teaches children a witty technique to help them manage their rambunctious thoughts and words. Told from Louis' perspective, this story provides parents, teachers, and counselors with an entertaining way to teach children the value of respecting others by listening, waiting patiently, and taking turns speaking.
This engaging picture book helps children:
- Understand why they interrupt
- Pause before speaking and manage big, energetic thoughts
- Build self-control and respectful communication
- Practice listening and waiting their turn at home and in the classroom
Perfect for social and academic skills lessons, classroom read-alouds, and family discussions about communication and patience.
