📖 My Social Story: Kind Hands and Kind Legs

My hands and legs are special. They help me do many wonderful things every day.

Kind hands are gentle hands. Kind hands can:

• Give high-fives and hugs

• Help friends when they fall down

• Share toys and hold hands

• Wave hello and clap for others

Kind legs are gentle legs. Kind legs can:

• Walk carefully around others

• Run and play games safely

• Dance and jump for fun

• Stand patiently in the queue

Sometimes I might feel angry or upset. When this happens, I can choose to use my hands and legs in kind ways.

Instead of hitting, I can: Take deep breaths, ask for help, or use my words to say how I feel.

Instead of kicking, I can: Stomp my feet on the ground, walk away, or count to ten.

When I use kind hands and kind legs, everyone feels safe and happy. I feel proud of myself too!
