Hands Are For? - Hardcover

by Doreen Y. Williams (Author)

Many children hit when they are upset, frustrated, and misinterpreted. During this period of "dysregulation" they may resort to hitting to communicate their emotion. In this book we learn that hands can be used for many things such as, high 5, clapping, and dapping - but not for hitting - not even a friendly tap. This is a mantra used throughout the book. Children will enjoy saying it and learning about different ways hands are used other than hitting. At the end of the book children are given the opportunity to make a list of other ways hands can be used. This book can be implemented as a social story for kids on the autism spectrum or life's spectrum - as a guide and a reminder when they are feeling dysregulated.
