We bought this book for our 19-month-old daughter when she hit and bit another child at school. At the time, she used to kick me when I changed her diaper, and her daycare had a copy of this book, so I bought it, along with "Hands Are Not For Hitting" and "Teeth are Not For Biting."

All three books are great. They are very simple, straightforward, with pictures and language toddlers can understand. The repetitive phrases like "Ouch, Kicking Hurts," and "Feet are not for kicking people," are phrases my daughter has remembered, and that we have adopted in our house in the event that she hits or kicks, as many kids this age tend to do from time-to-time.

Our daughter just turned two and still loves to read these books and has retained the lessons therein. It's a great series.

Side Note: The "Hands Are Not For Hitting" that we ordered here from Amazon is NOT a board book, and it's language is a little more advanced for a very young toddler, but you can "customize" the language and your little one will still love it!

Great book if your toddler has been kicking lately. Teaches good behavior as well as phrases that you can use to stop bad behavior. Highly recommend this book.

Bought this for my one twin who likes to kick. I think he is getting the point :-)

We try & try to deter our 17 month old from hitting, kicking, and biting. These are cute lil' story lines emphasize how these actions effect others. No hitting, kicking, or biting. "ouch" that hurts.

I found this book at a library originaly. My 3-yr old granddaughter loved it, so I ordered a copy for her to keep. Arrived quickly,and in terrific shape.

I bought these books to help teach my son that biting and hitting hurt. Each book has great illustrations and my son seems to be pretty interested in them while we are reading them to him. When he picks up the books he says, "OW, OW, OW". So needless to say, we're still working on it, but the books seem to be helping a little :o)

I am a foster parent and these little ones tend to be somewhat violent when they have a tantrum or just get mad. These books help you learn a specific language to address their behavioral issues. The key words in these books ('feet are not for kicking people) give the children a key to addressing their own behavioral issues. I can't tell you how many times one of these kiddo's will start to kick something and then say, 'feet are not for kicking.'

This book has been a life saver! My one year old would start kicking during diaper changes or if we were laying in bed. We read this book and now all I need to do is say "Feet are NOT for kicking" and she'll get excited and say "feet for..." so we can recite the book. She'll still kick if she gets wound up, but it stops her in her tracks immediately.

I got the whole series and all of the books are great. My daughter actually picks it out to read every day. She loves the fist page with pictures of feet.

We love the Best Behavior Series of books. We have "Feet are not for Kicking" "Teeth are not for Biting" "Hands are not for hitting" etc. Our daughter just turned 18 months and these are her favorite books. We've been reading them to her since about 12 months. I highly recommend. There are only a few words per page, it offers positive redirection, and the pictures are bright and illustrate other children of various colors.
