Words Are Not for Hurting / Las Palabras No Son Para Lastimar Overdue

From the Publisher:

"Children are known for speaking their minds. We can’t expect them to watch every word, but we can help them understand that their words affect other people. 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.

In both English and Spanish, this book helps little ones learn big ideas: they are responsible for what they do and say, their actions and words affect others, and they can make positive choices. Simple words and delightful full-color illustrations make it perfect for reading aloud one-on-one or in small groups. The book also includes helpful tips for parents and caregivers in both languages.

Best Behavior: Series
The Best Behavior series uses simple words and delightful full-color illustrations to guide children to choose peaceful, positive behaviors. Select titles are available in two versions: a durable board book for ages baby to preschool, and a longer, more in-depth paperback for ages four to seven. 

Kids, parents, and teachers love these award-winning books. All include helpful tips and ideas for parents and caregivers. Bilingual board books and paperback editions are available for select titles."
