I really liked how Jilly's mom helped her work through each of her tantrums. I think that this is a wonderful tool for parents to help their child with temper tantrums. I will be happy to recommend this to many customers. Thanks for sharing!
Wonderful way to show kids and parents how kids tantrums should be handled.
Jilly is a little kangaroo, who being kid thinks crying and getting angry is a shortcut to things get done. But his parents instead of publishing or scolding him, used a proper approach which helps kid to learn win -win approach.
In today's world, where couple having 1 or 2 kid(s) are used to provide everything in excess. Being spoilt, kids stop respecting things and start talking things for granted. And there are cases where parents demand over discipline from kids. Both situation is not good for better value system for kids.
Very good book.
Due to file issues, I was unable to read this book easily on my Kindle. However, what I did read, I liked. I believe this book can be helpful for many parents and children looking for alternative ways to handle temper tantrums. I also liked that it was not a quick fix or a problem that was solved after one time. It was more realistic to have Jilly have more than one tantrum.
This children's picture book is just as good for the parents or adults reading it as it is for the children listening to it. Jilly, a young kangaroo, has Terrible Temper Tantrums when she does not get what she wants. This is typical behaviour for young children until they learn that this does not get them what they want. In this story, when Jilly had a meltdown, her parents lovingly help her through the situation. They do not give in, but explain to her that her behaviour does not help the situation. As she works through her frustrations, she realizes that she can ask her parents for help whenever she is in danger of having another Terrible Temper Tantrum. This is a cute book that realistically portrays situations that any child could find themselves in as well as a realistic way for parents to deal with it. A great book for any family library. The illustrations were very sweet. They showed a loving family displaying emotions that anyone can connect with.
What an adorable book! As a teacher, I love books that model appropriate behavior for young kids. All children have tantrums at some point and this story is about Jilly, an adorable little kangaroo who has several meltdowns. Her parents lovingly show her that tantrums don't work and give her hugs and encouragement throughout her learning process. This is a great story to model how feeling frustrated is a normal emotion that everyone feels and there are ways to work through our emotions.
Jilly the Kangaroo is very easily frustrated and has no patience. Any parent raising a small child can relate to this. Jilly doesn't want to wait, doesn't like to compromise, and wants everything her way. Yet, with tons of patience, love, soothing words and cuddles, her Mother and Father manage to calm Jilly the Kangaroo down time after time until Jilly learns to use her words to voice her feelings before her negative emotions burst out. Jilly's Terrible Temper Tantrums is a wonderful text that teaches children how to manage their big emotions in a healthy way for a positive outcome.
