Description: "Toddlers are still learning how to speak, socialize, and understand their emotions. It's common for them to react with their hands when they get frustrated-but hitting is never okay. This book helps toddlers understand why hitting is not allowed and shows them how to react to their feelings with actions that are safe and kind,"--
