Like Free Spirit\'s earlier board books Hands Are Not for Hitting and Teeth Are Not for Biting , Words Are Not for Hurting helps little ones learn big ideas: that they are responsible for what they do and say; that their actions and Words affect others; and that they can make positive choices.
We can gently guide them to choose Words that are helpful instead of hurtful, and to say two very important words--"I\'m sorry"--when hurtful Words come out before they can stop them.
We can\'t expect them to watch every word, but we can help them to understand that their Words affect other people.
