Voices Are Not for Yelling Board Book (Best Behavior®)

this is wonderful to read and help teach my toddler!

I recently purchased "Voices Are Not for Yelling" in an attempt to teach my child the importance of using their inside voice. Unfortunately, the book has not been very effective, as my child continues to yell at the top of their lungs on a regular basis.The illustrations in the book are adorable, and the message about using a quiet voice is definitely important. However, my child seems to have completely ignored this message and continues to yell at every opportunity.In fact, I think the book may have made things worse. Now, whenever I tell my child to use their inside voice, they just laugh and say, "But it's not for yelling, Daddy!" and then proceed to scream even louder.My child is still yelling just as much as before, and I'm not sure what to do about it.

This series is great for younger kids or kids that may need some reminders about basic conduct/manners/hygiene. The message is clear and direct, the colors are great, and the words are repetitive enough that they make for wonderful early readers as well. Our autistic son needs these reminders to help him navigate life in public school and he loves these books. These are board books, so they hold up well to the love they will surely receive. This one is especially nice for the kiddo that needs the "inside voice" reminder at the library.

This book is wonderful in that it communicates the message that voices are not for yelling, but does not guilt the child into different behavior. Finding books like these that communicate a positive and peaceful parenting message, while giving more productive options than just saying "no" or "don't do that" for calming down (taking deep breaths, telling someone who you feel, etc), is not particularly easy, but this book nails it! I have already shared this book with many other parents. It hasn't magically stopped all yelling my toddler does, but it has given us go-to steps in her language, that we go back to again and again, and it has certainly helped. I love how at the end it says "voices are for..." and then lists various things voices are for, my toddler always says "I love you" at the very end and it's sweet to have that kind of resolution after a screaming episode when we decide to read this book again. Will it solve all yelling? No, but it's a great and positively peaceful tool to add to your little one's library.

Good content

I got this for a Christmas present for my youngest great granddaughter. She is 15 months old and is starting to put words together, loves to read books with her mom and dad. She also likes to squeal fairly loud when she gets excited, which is often. It is cute book and I am sure her mom will appreciate its message, Her dad is fairly calm, but my granddaughter and my great granddaughter are not, so this book is very appropriate. It has lovely bright pictures on the pages that they will enjoy.

Let me start off by saying at the time I purchased this last year my twin boys were 2. One of them would get excited, or their volume would be higher, so naturally the other feeds off of that energy and the next thing I know they both are that way. This book popped up on my recommendations. Bought it. This was probably their favorite book. And it didn’t take long, less then a week (not even) it was like a light switch, and it stopped.Now I want to clarify, was I just letting them yell before, absolutely not. Did I expect this book to solve this issue, no. But I can say multiple things in regards to this, they have heard it before. The difference is this book and the fact that it’s being presented in a way that makes sense to their age group and not sounding like a parent lecturing.They don’t yell. This book helped. It also helped give us an opportunity to talk about appropriate times to yell, and them understanding how yelling can effect others. Which is now the main reason why, at 3 years old they want to read this book-the emotional aspect.

Added this to my classroom collection of the series. Sadly needed to help reinforce classroom boundaries and SEL. The children love this series and the books do make an impact upon young children who are social experimenting.

This book is cute and I like the message. Although my 10 month old daughter is too young to understand it yet, I look forward to reading it when she's a bit older. But she enjoys looking at the kids in the book. I also like how the illustrations have kids from all differebt cultures. It's important for me to teach my daughter about other cultures and races. Well done.

Read it to my child and she started using the language and calming down tricks right away!

I have several of these books and my boys 2 and 4 love them. It has the phrase repeated throughout, so I tend to say it to the kids as a reminder, great for getting a point across

A very bright colorful book :)...will buy all books in the series.

My son do not enjoy this book. It doesn't really guide my son to stop screaming which he does regularly!
