My Stinging Arguments

Content : Eli is a well-behaved little boy. But sometimes, when people tease him, he becomes unintentionally naughty: he hits, he says words as black and prickly as thorns. And he hurts his friends. The great magician comes to his rescue to show him that he needs to express his emotions with words rather than gestures, and that words can hurt.

A story to inform parents and children about the main findings of educational research, namely:
- A child must learn to express emotions with words rather than gestures.
- It is better to teach a child "good" behavior and encourage it, rather than punish "bad" behavior, if you want to reduce the frequency of aggressive outbursts.
- There are words that hurt and words that help. The more gentle words you use, the more you will bond with other children and the more fun you will have together.
