Voices Are Not For Yelling (Best Behavior)
Ebooks Online

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.

Perfect for toddlers and pre-k, the board book version was perfect for my 3 year old daughter to help her remember not to yell. We are still working on this but I have noticed definite improvement since we read this together. The paperback version is a longer version for older kids and I think I will be ordering that soon, since this book is very simplified.I honestly think parents and caregivers sometimes need reminding too, and this is a great book for the family to remember to lower the volume.Now if I tell my daughter, "voices are not for yelling" or "i can't hear you when you yell" she instantly knows what I mean and usually stops and tries to calm down and tell me in a calm voice.

We LOVE this book. It explains how yelling affects others, and is a nice reminder for parents who read to their children, as well, ha ha. I love the tips in the back for parents and caregivers. The book uses simple language and the illustrations really expand on the ideas they are presenting. My child was also given tips on how to calm down when he does become angry, which I also love. Instead of just saying, "DON'T!" It says something similar to, "Here, this behavior will help in place of yelling." I love that children's feelings are acknowledged and they are given choices to control their reactions/environment a bit. I recommend these books to anyone who loves to read to their children...and are interested in reinforcing manners.

Really encouraging! First of all, my 3 year old was instantly captivated by the cover and pictures. He's also asked to read it everyday since it arrived. The way the message is addressed really seemed to grab his attention and I've been able to use the same wording from the book when he's yelling in real life. So far it seems to be helping, will see if it continues after the novelty wears off.

I got this for my 18 month old daughter. she loves this book. it has a nice gentle lesson throughout. Not much text , so dont expect a storybook with rhyming words, this is more of a picture book with 1 or 2 words per page, but with about 3-4 pages of "lessons" about not yelling. I think my daughter likes the images which are very bright and catchy. We got the hard board book which is a standard board book size.

My 3 year old isn't into the book but I got it for her cause she can be really loud and doesn't allow us to talk. If it was a rhythm book it would be better. Will keep reading it to her. It's not her first choice though.

Our son is a screamer. He used to hit until we bought the hitting book by the same author and were consistent with time out. He rarely hits now. We are hoping this book helps with screaming. So far he likes it, but hasn't shown any improvement.

We purchased all of the Elizabeth Verdick books for use with our children. They are well written, great pictures, and extremely easy for a toddler to understand. So glad that we found these books and have them in our parent toolbox.

Our child loves to yell, but he loves this book more. It's helped him to recognize appropriate times to use a loud voice. It has great illustrations and a good message.
