The toddler years are full of growth and smiles and sweetness—but also tantrums. With toddlers, yelling, screaming, wailing, and flailing are a normal part of life. Very young children don’t yet have the words to express strong feelings, and they’re still learning social skills. This board book helps little ones understand why it’s better to use an indoor voice—“so people hear the words and not the yelling”—and how to calm down and ask for help so they can get what they need. Also includes tips for parents and caregivers. The Best Behavior series uses simple words and delightful full-color illustrations to guide children to choose peaceful, positive behaviors. Select titles are available in two versions: a durable board book for ages baby–preschool, and a longer, more in-depth paperback for ages 4–7. Kids, parents, and teachers love these award-winning books. All include helpful tips and ideas for parents and caregivers.

From the Publisher
“This approach has great potential to help kids who may get a little angry from time to time (and who doesn’t?), emphasizing the importance of words instead of tone.”—Kirkus Reviews
School Library Journal
07/01/2015Toddler/PreS—This gentle reminder that there's an appropriate volume for indoor activities also addresses the emotions children might be feeling when they yell (excitement, anger) and how to quiet them, while also explaining how they can still be heard. Bold, colorful artwork features a diverse group of preschoolers.
Kirkus Reviews
2015-04-29A little boy learns to use his words. Little ones learn the difference between indoor voices and outdoor voices in this board book. The author introduces the two before exploring a scenario in which a little boy uses his outdoor voice when he becomes frustrated. Though very simple, this approach has great potential to help kids who may get a little angry from time to time (and who doesn't?), emphasizing the importance of words instead of tone. The bright illustrations feature multiethnic children in an early-childhood-classroom setting, each delineated with bold, black outlines. The color scheme sensitively matches the different tones on display, surrounding the shouting child with little thunderclouds against an angry orange background and a girl espousing an indoor voice with fluffy clouds against a serene blue background. The book's final pages contain tips for parents dealing with prickly toddlers, clearly marking it as a behavioral tool. Didactic but very helpfully so, for both little ones and their parents. (Board book. 1-3)
