Hands are not for hitting... words are for expressing.
Meet Prestley, a lovable young boy who is learning to manage big emotions gently. When communication is challenging, Prestley sometimes reacts with his hands-but with guidance, practice, and support, he learns a better way to express himself.
This engaging, rhyming story is perfect for Pre-K to early elementary children, especially those developing communication and self-regulation skills. With relatable scenarios and simple language, children will learn:
- Safe and kind ways to use their hands
- How to express feelings using words or gestures
- Simple coping strategies like asking for help and taking deep breaths
Perfect for classrooms, counseling sessions, and home reading, this story supports social-emotional learning (SEL) and builds a foundation for positive behavior and communication.
A must-have resource for parents, teachers, and school counselors helping children learn self-control, kindness, and emotional expression.
