A Children’s Guide To Activating An Indoor Voice In Times Of Tantrum

The toddler years are full of fun...but they can be full of tantrums, too! If your little one has reached the all-too-common temper tantrum phase—you're not alone! Using her trademark mix of empathy and encouragement, author Elizabeth Verdick explores helpful ways for children to navigate big feelings without using big voices.

• Reinforces Positive Behavior With Calming Corner Techniques: Using simple words and vibrant illustrations, Voices Are Not For Yelling help toddlers learn simple ways to calm down, like taking deep breaths.
• Teaches Effective Ways to Manage Meltdowns: Because toddlers are still learning social skills, they may not have the proper words to express strong feelings. 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 ask for help so they can get what they need.
• Includes Helpful Tips for Parents & Caregivers: Additional suggestions and social emotional learning activties are included in the back of the children’s book to help promote behavior management and healthy communication skills.

Best Behavior® Series: Kids, parents, and educators love the award-winning book series that teaches children ages 1–4 important life skills in fun, relatable ways. From managing emotions to manners for kids, each book in the series uses simple words and relatable illustrations that encourage positive behaviors. Bilingual board books are available for select titles.

"“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
