Respect and Take Care of Things (Learning to Get Along®)

Love all the books in this series. We read one of these books daily to my little ones that are still learning how to be responsible little boys.

Bought this book so that another crew at work may read it and take a subtle hint. Ah no. It is still on our counter at work lol

I like how this book talks about all the positives of taking good care of things. My daughter finds concentration very difficult, making extra steps in any process a very big deal to her. This book names the benefits of putting things away, handling things gently, using just the right amount of a consumable product, etc.

Great resource book for teaching character -building. I teach 4s & 5s and teaching social development/problem-solving skills is always a part of my curriculum. In my earlier years of teaching, all of the resources I found for helping teach those skills was above their learning level. Now, years later, Cheri J. Meiners has hit the nail on the head! These are exactly the books I was looking for years ago! The children can relate to the stories and there are questions att he end for the teacher to use with the children. There is also more info in the back like additional books that can be read, vocabulary words, websites, etc. If you want to build character, help develop problem-solving skills and foster social skills in your classroom, then this series of books is for you and your classroom.

This whole series is great for kids. Breaks down expectations and written from their perspective.

I got this for my 4 yr old son who loves to smash his things (trucks!cars!figures!). This book is cute, clear in purpose and keeps his attention. I will keep reading it to him and hope it sinks in lol!

My just-barely-three-year-old son loves this series, and frequently quotes the books in the context of related real-world situations. This book was good to start discussions about respecting other people's space and personal property. I appreciate the fact that the series is very diverse and shows realistic situations and explains how to deal with them in ways that little people can understand.

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.

My son (2.5) enjoyed this book and applied the lessons right away by putting his sock away in the toilet.

My daughter loves these books, really good for talking about emotions, and learning how to deal with others with respect. A little American but I just swap some of the words.

Good book to teach children take responsibilities and respect things. I would like to recommend this book and others from the series.

We bought all the books in the series and they are really great. At least in theory my son gets the concepts described. Now we are working on the practical implementation :)

Great books!!! Made a big difference.
