Words are Not for Hurting
by Elizabeth Verdick; illustrated by Marieka Heinlen
Some of your words are kind. But some of them are not. Words are not for hurting. What do hurtful words do? Children are known for speaking their minds. We can’t expect them to watch every word, but we can help them to 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.
