I''m calm as can be. I''m taking care of me." After a break, toddlers will feel like new-and adults will, too.An award-winning author/illustrator team offers a fresh look at the times and transitions all toddlers face daily, giving young children coping skills to ease temper tantrums and handle strong feelings with confidence and cooperation.Part of the Toddler Tools series, Calm-Down Time can be shared before (or during) the desired "time," or whenever toddlers need encouragement with social skills and daily routines and transitions.
