Book: In simple words and charming full-color illustrations, “Feet Are Not for Kicking” helps little ones learn to use their feet for fun, not in anger or frustration. It also includes tips for parents and caregivers on how to help toddlers be sweet with their feet.
This companion to Teeth Are Not for Biting (2003) and Words Are Not for Hurting (2004, both Free Spirit) quickly turns didactic. After covering what feet are used for (walking, standing, leaping, landing, etc.), the text states, “Feet are not for kicking people. Ouch! Kicking hurts.” Suggestions follow for what can be kicked (balls, leaves) and what to do if kicked.
