Respect and Take Care of Things (Learning To Get Along)

Everything has a place. Things last longer when we take care of them. Respect, responsibility, and stewardship are concepts that even young children can relate to—because they have things they value. This book encourages children to pick up after themselves, put things back where they belong, and ask permission to use things that don’t belong to them. It also teaches simple environmental awareness: respecting and taking care of the earth. Includes ideas for adult-led activities and discussions.

Great Social/Behavior Book; wish they were cheaper

By archaeoamy - May 28, 2008

I have a couple of these books for my 7 y.o. son who has Aspergers Syndrome (on the autism spectrum). The books are great for bringing up discussions about different situations and appropriate behavior. They are also great for his younger brother (5) and sister (3). They give several examples of the specific lesson being taught, and in a reflective way for children. The ending always has a thought-provoking question, giving the child the chance to think of ways they can take care of their things, etc... After reading the book the kids always get excited trying to show me they can do what the book says. So it works for everyone. I only wish they were cheaper, I'd love to get more of them.

this is perfect as a teaching aide.

Fe wreviews indicate that this book is good for kids > 4 years old but my son keeps bringing me this book to read it for him again and again. This is a great book to deliver the concept even if they can't follow it immediately. I'm hoping with repeatition he will eventually act upon what he learns from this book.
