Sometimes, when you really want something, it's easy to forget to use a kind voice. In this story, Javi learns and practices how to use a kind voice. 

Grown-ups, try this at home!

Tips for Caregivers:

• Try practicing this in a neutral moment when your child is calm and regulated. 
• Prioritize your child's needs - sometimes they may be unable to ask for something calmly, especially if they are hungry, thirsty, or tired. Just encourage the use of a kind voice whenever you can.
