The Calm Words. A Coloring and Story Book About Using a Gentle Voice and Speaking with Kindness (en Inglés) - Shu Chen Hou

Daisy Dog has a wagging tail and a bark that sounds like thunder! When Daisy is happy, she sings, but when she's upset, her loud bark boomed so much that the little birds hide and her friends feel small. Daisy doesn't mean to be scary, but she soon learns that the loudest voice isn't always the strongest. With a little help, Daisy discovers the magic of "calm words"-a gentle way of speaking that helps everyone feel brave, heard, and happy together.

The Calm Words is a vital Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) resource designed for children aged 4 to 10. This interactive coloring and story book addresses the common childhood challenge of managing big emotions and using appropriate volume during conflict. Through Daisy's journey, young readers see the emotional impact their voice can have on others and learn practical ways to express their needs without shouting. The narrative fosters empathy and teaches the foundational skill of gentle communication in a way that is easy for children to understand and apply.

Authored by Dr. Shu Chen Hou and published by Kokoshungsan Ltd., this book combines pedagogical expertise with a charming, interactive format. By inviting children to color Daisy's bright world, the book provides a calming, multi-sensory way to explore the concepts of self-regulation and social harmony. It is an ideal addition to home libraries, early childhood classrooms, and school counseling offices, helping children understand that kindness and a gentle voice are the true signs of strength.
