Review: Hands Are for Hugging, Not for WWE Tryouts - This book has been a lifesaver in teaching my toddler that hands are for things like hugging and helping—not smacking, swatting, or auditioning for toddler fight club. The Best Behavior series nails it again with simple words and pictures that somehow cut through the chaos and keep my kid engaged. The format is genius: start with what hands are for (“helping mommy clean up the million toys you dumped out”), then explain what they’re not for (“hitting mom because she dared to say no to a third snack”). It’s clear, gentle, and exactly what we needed to curb the tiny tornado of hands flying at inappropriate moments. We’ve even started using the book’s format in everyday life. “What are hands for?” gets a thoughtful response, while “What are they NOT for?” earns a little head tilt like they’re really pondering their choices. Anytime there’s a slip-up, out comes the book, and it’s like a magical toddler reboot. If your kid is testing the boundaries of what hands can do (spoiler: it’s not hitting), this book is a must-have. It’s effective and has definitely made our house a more peaceful place. Review: This is a great book to help encourage little people with knowing all ... - This is a great book to help encourage little people with knowing all of the many ways to use their hands in a peaceful and productive manner. Some of the elements that I like most include: - The book uses positive reinforcement in the manner in which it highlights all of the many uses of hands that are peaceful, loving and helpful. The book mentions how not to use your hands but does not focus on the negative uses of hands. - The book is well illustrated and the colors and pictures definitely draw in the audience to paying close attention to the activities of each individual page. - The diverse children represented on each page is a huge plus. It is refreshing to see a book that demonstrates that children range in many different colors. The book celebrates that idea that diverse children coexist and thrive together. - The text is simple and can be understood by very small children (I purchased and read to my 2 year old who clearly understands and repeats the text in relevant moments/settings). ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #438 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #1 in Children's Manners Books #1 in Children's Books on Violence #21 in Children's Books on Emotions & Feelings (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 8,442 Reviews | ## Images ![Hands Are Not for Hitting (Board Book) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81XpsnIOvLL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Hands Are for Hugging, Not for WWE Tryouts *by C***R on January 27, 2025* This book has been a lifesaver in teaching my toddler that hands are for things like hugging and helping—not smacking, swatting, or auditioning for toddler fight club.
