Abstract
Every parent, caregiver - and toddler - knows the misery that comes with meltdowns and temper tantrums. Through rhythmic text and warm illustrations, this gentle, reassuring book offers toddlers simple tools to release strong feelings, express them, and calm themselves down. Children learn to use their calm-down place - a quiet space where they can cry, ask for a hug, sing to themselves, be rocked in a grown-up?s arms, talk about feelings, and breathe: "One, two, three . . . I?m calm as can be. I?m taking care of me." After a break, toddlers will feel like new - and adults will, too.
Books include tips for parents and caregivers.

Abstract
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." In classic Best Behavior style the author tells young readers, "Your voice is a powerful tool. How you use it is up to you."
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
For ages 4 - 7
