Great book to read to children 2 and up。 this book lets children know that hands are not for hitting but other great ways to use your hands。 Sometimes you need to talk to a child in your classroom about keeping their hands to themself without embarrassing them in the classroom so reading this book in a group would be a great way to talk to everyone about keeping your hand to yourself。

Hands are for playing， learning， doing and building。Hands are not for hitting。 Hitting is never okay。This is such a good book with a very important message to children and grown ups alike。 It tells of all the ways hands can be used but they are never to be used for hitting anyone。 There's a note at the end A Word to Grown-Ups talking about violence in our culture and discussion starters and activities which I also enjoyed。 It has lovely， inclusive illustrations。4 stars Hands are for playing， learning， doing and building。Hands are not for hitting。 Hitting is never okay。This is such a good book with a very important message to children and grown ups alike。 It tells of all the ways hands can be used but they are never to be used for hitting anyone。 There's a note at the end A Word to Grown-Ups talking about violence in our culture and discussion starters and activities which I also enjoyed。 It has lovely， inclusive illustrations。4 stars 。。。more

This behavioral book about what hands could be used for instead of hitting really helped my son during his fight and flight threes。 Now that he’s four he still enjoys reading this book for fun and he’s often reflecting on his improved behavior。

i love this book because it promotes teaching children as early as possible that violence is never okay， your hands can be used for many other great things besides hitting someone and hurting them。 i would recommend this book for any parent who struggles with a naturally physical child。 some kids are a lot more rough than others。

Toddler asks for this book by name and older kids will repeat the title when someone forgets that hands are not for hitting。 It’s full of many other options and uses for hands。

I think this book is an essential in my opinion。 You never know what is happening at home so this simple book really encourages positive outcomes for children。 It teaches them that their hands are not to inflict hurt onto other but instead shows children the many countless POSITIVE & PEACEFUL outcomes when dealing with others。 It helps to enforce positive behaviors in children。

I think this book was creative in the way that it was telling children that hands are not for hitting and what they are for， along with pictures illustrating why people use hands， so children can appropriately use their hands。

I like this book because it is important for children to know at any age， that they shouldn't use violence to solve their problems。 We can use our words and try to find a resolution a different way， not by hitting and hurting our classmates。 I like this book because it is important for children to know at any age， that they shouldn't use violence to solve their problems。 We can use our words and try to find a resolution a different way， not by hitting and hurting our classmates。 。。。more

Great book for teaching preschoolers how to play and learn。 This book also teaches self discipline and social skills。 This book has a wealth of information for very young children and is colorful and engaging。 This is an excellent book as it guides children on when， how， and where they should use their hands。 Children hear about how others feeling and emotions are effected when hands are used inappropriately。 It also guides children into making good and sound choices， judgment and decision about Great book for teaching preschoolers how to play and learn。 This book also teaches self discipline and social skills。 This book has a wealth of information for very young children and is colorful and engaging。 This is an excellent book as it guides children on when， how， and where they should use their hands。 Children hear about how others feeling and emotions are effected when hands are used inappropriately。 It also guides children into making good and sound choices， judgment and decision about using their hands。 。。。more

The best book about teaching manners。 I found it really helpful when my first born was just 6 month old。 And after that my all kids followed the same book。 And we used to say whenever any child is angry 。。 Hands are not for 。。。。 Hitting。” For parents it’s necessary to introduce books like this to our kids to help and teach them good manners。 They’ll understand the value able manners and will understand the task which we do with our hands。 I really recommend this book to every parent who are real The best book about teaching manners。 I found it really helpful when my first born was just 6 month old。 And after that my all kids followed the same book。 And we used to say whenever any child is angry 。。 Hands are not for 。。。。 Hitting。” For parents it’s necessary to introduce books like this to our kids to help and teach them good manners。 They’ll understand the value able manners and will understand the task which we do with our hands。 I really recommend this book to every parent who are really concerned about good parenting。 I really like the whole set from Martine Agassi about different manners and task。 。。。more

I don't like focusing on what I don't want my toddler to do， so ignore the parts about hitting and just read what hands are for and act it out with my 18 months old son。 He loves doing all the actions with me along with the book。 I don't like focusing on what I don't want my toddler to do， so ignore the parts about hitting and just read what hands are for and act it out with my 18 months old son。 He loves doing all the actions with me along with the book。 。。。more

We use these sayings all the time for our kids。 Good lesson and reminders for how to tackle the hitting phase for kids。

We pull this book into our classroom when a child starts hitting for fun。 The child hears the different ways they can use their hands appropriately compared to being harmful with them。 They enjoy seeing and trying to do some of the funny things the children do in the illustrations of the book。

This is a wonderful early childhood book （Ages 0-3）。 This book illustrates that hands can help us do so many amazing things like saying hello， eating and drinking， taking care of ourselves and others and so many marvelous things and they should not be used for hitting someone。 The illustrations of the book are delightful and outstanding。 It conveys the message to the young minds in a way they can understand。

She loves the boy playing "itsy bitsy spider" and the girl playing with mud。 I also said "cute boots" on the picture of the mom the first time we read this， and now she also says "Cute boots！" almost every time we read it。 :） She loves the boy playing "itsy bitsy spider" and the girl playing with mud。 I also said "cute boots" on the picture of the mom the first time we read this， and now she also says "Cute boots！" almost every time we read it。 :） 。。。more

This book is a great book to help teach children the appropriate behavior for hands。 I would read this book to young preschool age children to help them understand what their hands are for and how many different ways they are able to use them。 This book is also a great way to teach these young ones how to read with the illustrations so large the pictures are easy to attach the words to them。

Helpful for toddlers。 A little hint as to how to control the anger that causes the hitting might help。。。there's some notes for parents on that， but I wish just a bit of it was in the text。 Helpful for toddlers。 A little hint as to how to control the anger that causes the hitting might help。。。there's some notes for parents on that， but I wish just a bit of it was in the text。 。。。more

All of us really like this book。 Good to give other options， and the section in the back with tips for people who get to hang out with small humans has some good pointers。 Will be getting again！

I would tweak some of the language a bit， but this is a very necessary and timely literature in our home currently。

Little ones have big thoughts and feelings but they are still working on expressing them。 They are learning how to deal with others listening or not listening to them; understanding patience and accepting rejection。 This book gives some positive activities to do with your hands versus the negative activities such as hitting。 It's an easy read for toddlers through preschool age。 Little ones have big thoughts and feelings but they are still working on expressing them。 They are learning how to deal with others listening or not listening to them; understanding patience and accepting rejection。 This book gives some positive activities to do with your hands versus the negative activities such as hitting。 It's an easy read for toddlers through preschool age。 。。。more

What are hands for？ This book shows young children good things they can do with their hands and teaches socially appropriate behaviors to do instead of hitting。 With very cute pictures， this book is a favorite of my 4 year old。

We read this one with my toddler because he was starting to hit when he got frustrated with us。 I am happy to report that this book definitely did help with the problem。 Now when we see him getting ready to lash out， we say， "What are our hands for？" and he usually comes up with something from the book as a response。 Not too shabby！ We read this one with my toddler because he was starting to hit when he got frustrated with us。 I am happy to report that this book definitely did help with the problem。 Now when we see him getting ready to lash out， we say， "What are our hands for？" and he usually comes up with something from the book as a response。 Not too shabby！ 。。。more
