Description
My Gentle Body is a social story created specifically for children who struggle with the safe use of hands, feet, and mouth. With warm imagery and simple language, it positively demonstrates keeping hands to oneself, walking feet instead of kicking, and using words not biting when frustrated. By speaking directly to pattern-based learners, the story models appropriate body behaviors across social contexts from classrooms to playdates using engaging visual narratives. My Gentle Body aims to intrinsically motivate self-control and appropriate interactions with others. Three included checklist charts reinforce key lessons learned in this hands-on social guide
