Description
Nurture Healthy Habits with the Best Behavior (R) Series
Toddlers grow and change quickly, facing big milestones and big feelings along the way. This six-book board book set supports children ages 1-4 with simple words, vibrant illustrations, and reassuring messages. Each book also includes helpful tips to make teaching healthy habits fun and engaging for parents, grandparents, and caregivers.
Books included in the boxed set:
Teeth Are Not for Biting
In friendly, toddler-appropriate language, this book explains why kids sometimes feel like biting and offers safe, helpful alternatives they can try instead. With upbeat illustrations and soothing guidance, little ones learn that "ouch" moments can be avoided with positive choices.
Tails Are Not for Pulling
Toddlers love animals, but they don't always know how to treat them gently. Simple words and engaging illustrations teach respectful behaviors, such as pet softly, ask before touching, and remember that tails are never for pulling.
Germs Are Not for Sharing
Achoo! Cough! Wash, wash, wash! Little ones learn what to do when they sneeze, cough, or feel sick-and why good hygiene matters. Instead of focusing on what germs are, this book emphasizes easy, everyday actions toddlers can take to keep themselves and others healthy.
Pacifiers Are Not Forever
Saying goodbye to a pacifier can be a big challenge. Warm, comforting language and relatable pictures help toddlers navigate this important transition. Kids learn positive ways to cope with feelings, try new comforting strategies, and celebrate the moment they become pacifier-free.
Diapers Are Not Forever
This gentle guide shows little ones what "big kids" do when they use the potty and helps build confidence as they learn to go, flush, wash, and proudly wear underwear.
Screen Time Is Not Forever
Screens are everywhere, and toddlers need help learning healthy boundaries. This helpful resource for families seeking balance offers simple screen-time limits and lots of fun screen-free alternatives.
The Best Behavior (R) Series is an invaluable addition to any child's library, helping to foster a lifetime of positive behavior and emotional growth.
The Best Behavior (R) Series: Supporting Toddlers Every Step of the Way Beloved by families, caregivers, and educators, the Best Behavior (R) series uses clear, encouraging language and lively illustrations to teach young children about positive actions, emotions, routines, and social skills.
