Need recs : Children's books about kindness

post #1 of 5
Thread Starter 
So my almost 3 YO is having some trouble at preschool. Often disagreements over toys end with him pushing or biting. We're working with the teachers and at home but I'm looking for some books that might teach lessons about being kind/polite/respectful. I bought Let's be Kind. I like it ok, but I'm not liking the references to God rewarding kindness.

Any other books out there I should be looking for?

Will Sheila Share? by Elivia Savadier

Soooooo helpful to us. Beautifully toddler-esque pictures. We've been reading it for a year and my 2.5 yo isn't tired of it yet. We often "play Sheila" or other characters from the story.

Also a song, or part of a song we like - only the last 30 seconds is appropriate for kids this young, but the finale is a frequent request around here. I liked it so much myself that I found myself singing it alot, and from there my son liked it too. It's from:

Sunbeams and some beans by Kimya Dawson, album is Alphabutt

at our family therapist's recommendation, We are reading and doing the "raising a thinking child" book/workbook set by Myrna Shure and it seems to be giving us a really good way to converse with our daughter about conflicts with others, frustrations and feelings. It's proving to be a great resource for us to begin dialogues with our 3 1/2 yo.

Books for your tot

Hi there,

You may want to try a series of books written by Todd & Peggy Snow.
I like "Feelings to Share." It's really great and gives young kids the words to express themselves. Hope that helps. I run a children's bookstore--www.multicultibaby.com--where these books are available for purchase, or you can try your fave bookseller. Good luck!
