Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Why does Mommy always say, "Hold my hand"?To a young child, holding a parent's hand may seem like a simple rule-especially when they are excited to explore, eager to do things independently, or convinced they are big enough to walk on their own. But sometimes the smallest safety rules have very important reasons behind them.Hold Mommy's Hand is a child-friendly story that helps young readers understand why staying close to a trusted adult is important in busy or potentially dangerous environments. Whether walking near traffic, crossing a street, moving through a crowded area, or navigating other public spaces, children are still developing the awareness and judgment needed to recognize hazards and respond safely.Rather than simply telling children to follow directions "because Mommy said so," Hold Mommy's Hand encourages them to understand the purpose behind the rule. Holding hands, staying nearby, stopping when instructed, and paying attention to a caregiver are not meant to prevent children from growing more independent. They are ways trusted adults help protect children while teaching them the skills they will eventually use on their own.Part of the BBS Books Social-Emotional Learning Series, this story gives parents, caregivers, and educators an approachable way to begin conversations about pedestrian safety, public safety, listening to trusted adults, situational awareness, and age-appropriate independence.As children grow, they naturally want more freedom. Hold Mommy's Hand reminds young readers that becoming independent does not mean rushing ahead before they are ready. Sometimes growing up means learning when you can do something yourself-and when it is safest to reach for the hand beside you.Hold tight. Stay close. Pay attention. Every safe step helps prepare you for the steps you'll someday take on your own.
