Voices Are Not for Yelling

As parents and teachers know, yelling comes naturally to children. This friendly, encouraging book, geared to preschool and primary children, introduces and reinforces where and when to use an "indoor voice" or an "outdoor voice." Vivid illustrations show the times and places for an indoor voice, the ways people ask us to quiet our voices, and times when yelling might occur. "What happens if you''re mad or frustrated or really, really excited? Your voice gets louder and LOUDER." But yelling hurts people''s ears and feelings. Children learn that they can quiet their voice and use their words to talk about a problem. "Think before you yell, and use your words well!" Includes a special section for parents and caregivers with activities and discussion starters.
