Title: My Mouth is a Volcano
By: Julia Cook and Carrie Hartman
Age: 5+
My Mouth Is A Volcano takes an empathetic approach to the habit of interrupting and teaches children a witty technique to help them manage their rambunctious thoughts and words.
Louis always interrupts! All of his thoughts are very important to him, and when he has something to say, his words rumble and grumble in his tummy, they wiggle and jiggle on his tongue and then they push on his teeth, right before he ERUPTS (or interrupts). His mouth is a volcano! But when others begin to interrupt Louis, he learns how to respectfully wait for his turn to talk.
Told from Louis’ perspective, this story provides parents, teachers, and counselors with an entertaining way to teach children the value of respecting others by listening and waiting for their turn to speak.

Be The Change
Reflect on something where you have been slacking on discipline presently (e.g. sleeping or waking at a desired time, food habits, physical exercise etc.) and take one small step towards the direction in which you want to move.
