Mom and Dad, I Love You. I am still Learning to Control My Hands: A calm Montessori story about big feelings, self control, repair, and learning gentl

Is your toddler hitting you, and you do not know how to respond without yelling, shaming, or feeling helpless?

This Montessori aligned picture book is written directly for young children who are still learning self control, emotional regulation, and gentle hands. Using one short sentence per page, it explains why hitting happens, what the body feels first, and how children can learn safer ways to express big feelings.

Unlike many behaviour books, this story does not normalize hitting or repeat triggering language. It avoids long explanations, metaphors, and rewards that confuse toddlers. Instead, it offers clear, concrete language that parents can reuse in real moments.

Grounded in developmental psychology and trusted by parents, therapists, and educators, this book helps children learn that mistakes do not break connection, and that self control is a skill built over time.

A portion of future proceeds will be dedicated to supporting causes that help children and families thrive. A small step toward a greater impact.
