We Can Play Rough

A Lesson on Hitting

The first volume in the Young Solomon series of books teaches children when it is okay to play rough, and when it is not okay.

The Young Solomon series reflects the principles, morals, and the basics of a simple childhood, based on the biblical teachings of King Solomon.

“What an adorable yet meaningful book that every parent, grandparent, aunt or uncle, teacher and friend can use with young children. This book teaches simple boundaries about not hitting others that young children can understand and remember. The lessons apply to young toddlers and school age children for both girls and boys. I highly recommend this book and believe that what children will learn from reading it are important life lessons that they can apply today and also carry with them throughout life.”

“My hubby ordered this for me to give as a gift. This book is such a sweet way to teach young children especially rowdy little boys the difference between playful rough housing and hurting others, I also love the illustrations and that it ends with a prayer of safe keeping as well.”

– James

“As a social worker who has worked with child abuse cases for years, this book is just what our children (and parents) need today!! The author encourages healthy physical roughness, while differentiating when roughness becomes inappropriate aggression. This book is an ideal gift for any child in your life!!”

“Fantastic book for young boys! As a father of 3 rough and tumble boys I only wish I had this book 19 years ago!”

– Doug Wilcox

“Great book with so many important lessons. It’s hard for little ones to understand when playing rough is appropriate. I wish I had this when my boys were toddlers. I can’t wait to see what the next book in the series is about!”
