You would reach for this book when your toddler's excitement or frustration turns into ear-splitting volume, or when they struggle to understand the difference between indoor and outdoor voices. It serves as a gentle, non-punitive bridge for children who are still learning to regulate their impulses and vocal cords. The book explains that while yelling can happen when we are mad or busy, our words are much more effective when they are calm and clear. Through simple, repetitive prose and inclusive illustrations, Elizabeth Verdick validates the big feelings that lead to yelling while providing concrete alternatives. It focuses on the physical mechanics of the voice and the emotional impact volume has on others. Ideal for the 0 to 4 age range, this book is a staple for parents who want to model positive communication and help their children develop early self-regulation skills in a way that feels supportive rather than scolding.
