If You Don't Brush Your Teeth

Product Description

If You Don't Series Book 1

An action-packed bedtime story about parenting a strong-willed child and learning how to communicate in a loving (and fun!) way.

When a little girl refuses to brush her teeth, her mother decides to give her a consequence.

But instead of giving in and doing as her mother asks, the little girl dishes out consequences of her own!

A back-and-forth battle of threats ensue, from putting shoes on the roof, to burying a remote control and tortillas in the garden!

In the spirit of Margaret Wise Brown's classic, The Runaway Bunny, IF YOU DON'T BRUSH YOUR TEETH offers a modern twist in that the mother tries to discipline against a child's active imagination.

A mother and daughter tale that is sure to make you laugh. This hilarious picture book will delight both kids and adults alike!

Inspiration

"If you're a parent, chances are you hear the word 'no' a lot. Why do kids say no? Because they want to be the boss of their own bodies and lives! Accepting 'no' graciously goes a long way towards others accepting a 'no' from you, and an even longer way towards developing a helpful and caring relationship" -Rue Kream

"'No' is an opportunity for connection. Hearing 'no' often ends up being very disconnecting because people get frustrated and angry just trying to get their needs met. But 'no' really can be an opportunity for connection. Every time you successfully empathise and work out mutually beneficial solutions, your connection grows stronger. It may take more time, patience, and understanding, but it is so worth it. And the more you practice, the easier it gets!" - Inbal Kashtan
