This book is terrible. I have an 18 month old that has recently started hitting and pushing at home and at school. I came to to buy a copy of "Hands are Not for Hitting" (since we lost our copy) and came across this. It has good reviews and my son loves dinosaurs so I thought I'd give this one a try instead. Huge waste of money. "Dinos don't hit. Dinos help." Um, what? That's not practical and I don't think any child under the age of 3 can even grasp a general command to "help". Help how? Help with what? Oh, and the pictures don't depict any hitting. They also don't depict any "helping". Basically, the dinos are just sitting and looking at each other. Totally confusing to any child. Especially a child under 3. It'd be nice if this book said WHY dinos don't hit or what dinos can do instead. Like, hug, wave, clap, etc. "Help" is not effective. Bottom line, buy a different book. ANY other book is better than this one.
A favourite for my two yr old grandson, this book and the others in the little Dino series talk abt the problem in the title and place it in simple text. He easily learned to "read" it himself and enjoy it over and over. My only wish is that they were written as "family neutral" as we adapted them in reading since he does not have a sister and other families may not have one of the parents mentioned.
I like the 'Don't Bite' title better, but this one is good too. I wish it included friends, instead of just relatives. We only have the one kid, so no siblings for him to relate to like in the book. But it still gets the message across.
I love these books and my son does too! He's 2 years old and we've been struggling with some occasional behavior issues like biting, hitting, kicking, and pushing when he's frustrated. These books have really helped us frame a good way to teach him that those are not acceptable ways to vent anger or frustration and they also teach alternatives like helping/hugging instead. I've seen a huge difference in his behavior since we added these books to our rotation. He has even started telling other toddlers "don't hit! it's not nice!" instead of hitting back... not every time but still AMAZING!
It's okay. My two-year old daughter wants me to read it to her a lot. The only think that I don't like about it is it says, "Don't hit your sister... don't hit your brother". My daughter is an only child so I really wish it didn't refer to "sister" or "brother". I substitute those words with other ones. Also, the first time I read it to her, she hit me immediately after! She had never hit me before..
My toddler isn't all into dinosaurs, but he was very much into hitting. This book helped give us a shared dialogue and reference when discussing what we do and don't do with our hands. It helped then-two-year-old boy to understand what we mean when we say "don't hit" and "hands are for helping."
Little Dino learns about using his hands to help, not hurt. My son loves this book, and I get a big hug at the end Everytime when the Dino learns helpers like to hug. My only complaint is it talks about brother, sister and grandma- which are a bit specific. We just pretend it says names that apply to our family.
Simple message. My son still hits everyone but he seems to get the message. Hoping it's a phase! Cute illustrations. Also bought little Dinos Don't Push. He does quote the book from time to time so I guess it's getting through to him?
