Free Respect And Take Care Of Things (Learning To Get Along®) Ebooks Online
Everything has a place. Things last longer when we take care of them. Respect, responsibility, and stewardship are concepts that even young children can relate to—because they have things they value. This book encourages children to pick up after themselves, put things back where they belong, and ask permission to use things that don’t belong to them. It also teaches simple environmental awareness: respecting and taking care of the earth. Includes ideas for adult-led activities and discussions.

I have a couple of these books for my 7 y.o. son who has Aspergers Syndrome (on the autism spectrum). The books are great for bringing up discussions about different situations and appropriate behavior. They are also great for his younger brother (5) and sister (3). They give several examples of the specific lesson being taught, and in a reflective way for children. The ending always has a thought-provoking question, giving the child the chance to think of ways they can take care of their things, etc... After reading the book the kids always get excited trying to show me they can do what the book says. So it works for everyone. I only wish they were cheaper, I'd love to get more of them.
Fe wreviews indicate that this book is good for kids > 4 years old but my son keeps bringing me this book to read it for him again and again. This is a great book to deliver the concept even if they can't follow it immediately. I'm hoping with repeatition he will eventually act upon what he learns from this book.
Great resource book for teaching character -building. I teach 4s & 5s and teaching social development/problem-solving skills is always a part of my curriculum. In my earlier years of teaching, all of the resources I found for helping teach those skills was above their learning level. Now, years later, Cheri J. Meiners has hit the nail on the head! These are exactly the books I was looking for years ago! The children can relate to the stories and there are questions att he end for the teacher to use with the children. There is also more info in the back like additional books that can be read, vocabulary words, websites, etc. If you want to build character, help develop problem-solving skills and foster social skills in your classroom, then this series of books is for you and your classroom.
My just-barely-three-year-old son loves this series, and frequently quotes the books in the context of related real-world situations. This book was good to start discussions about respecting other people's space and personal property. I appreciate the fact that the series is very diverse and shows realistic situations and explains how to deal with them in ways that little people can understand.
Wonderful series. I highly recommend these books to kids on the spectrum and any children who are having trouble with the individual concepts. This book is great for teaching the concept of responsibility. I recommend all of these books, the whole series is wonderful.
I may have spent too much for this book. It was ok but not what I expected. Honestly google offers the same examples... not really a story... more like a list of ways to show respect.
I got this for my 4 yr old son who loves to smash his things (trucks!cars!figures!). This book is cute, clear in purpose and keeps his attention. I will keep reading it to him and hope it sinks in lol!
This little book is well written for young children to understand and to relate.My daughter reads it to my grandson before bedtime and he loves it !Not the typical bedtime story but he relates to it and tries to pick up on what the content is telling us.
