Dex has the sweetest heart and the roughest touch. He breaks his toys, has difficulty with personal space, and has an energy level that idles on high! Dex deeply desires to play with a family of baby birds, but his request is denied until he can learn to be gentle and kind. Join this misunderstood dragon as he creatively learns how to have a gentle touch.
It’s Tough to Be Gentle: A Dragon’s Tale, helps children understand the gentle and kind concept and the Teaching Tips for Parents provides parents with information on how they can empathize with a child similar to Dex. This is one of eight children’s books designed to teach Trust Based Relational Intervention (TBRI ®) principles developed by Dr. Karyn Purvis and Dr. David Cross at the Institute of Child Development. Other titles by Cindy R. Lee include: Baby Owl Lost Her Whoo & Doggie Doesn’t Know “No!” Proceeds from the books are being donated to HALO Project OKC and the Institute of Child Development.
