Teaching children how to manage their thoughts and words without interrupting.

Louis always interrupts! All of his thoughts are very important to him, and when he has something to say, his words rumble and grumble in his tummy, they wiggle and jiggle on his tongue and then they push on his teeth, right before he ERUPTS (or interrupts). His mouth is a volcano! But when others begin to interrupt Louis, he learns how to respectfully wait for his turn to talk.

My Mouth Is A Volcano takes an empathetic approach to the habit of interrupting and teaches children a witty technique to help them manage their rambunctious thoughts and words. Told from Louis' perspective, this story provides parents, teachers, and counselors with an entertaining way to teach children the value of respecting others by listening and waiting for their turn to speak.

Joan Phraner

ADHD symptoms explain our behavior, BUT they do not EXCUSE it.

11 March 2017 - Published on Amazon.com

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

I read this to my 6 year old to help reinforce his own personal awareness with topics that he struggles with or to help prevent a struggle due to his ADHD. Being aware of what we need to work on is the first step to making changes and hopefully by doing this we can prevent our children from future frustrations and disappointments within themselves. It is easier to mold them into respectful, responsible children at a younger age than it will be to break bad habits later on in life. With that said this book is one of many that we read as our "self help" kinda books. Every night I choose 1 book to add to the mix of his own book choices, depending on what I am trying to make him aware of and teach him coping skills in regards to things he struggled with that day or week. I hope this list is helpful. I know I always LOVE finding someone’s review that lists more great books on these kind of topics as I am always looking for more resources!
This is a list of a few of my personal favorites age range about 4-8

Helping kids about making good choices:
• That Rule Doesn't Apply to Me! (Responsible Me!)
• But It's Not My Fault! (Responsible Me!)
• What Were You Thinking? Learning to Control Your Impulses (Executive Function)
• My Mouth Is a Volcano! (talking over/interrupting people)
• What If Everybody Did That? (environmental awareness)
• LarryBoy and the Foolish Fig from Faraway (making good choices when friends aren’t)
• The Berenstain Bears Show Some Respect (talking nice to others)
• The Berenstain Bears and the Trouble with Chores
• Squirmy Wormy: How I Learned to Help Myself (more autism focused)
• God, I Need to Talk to You about…. Series (very short and to the point! from child’s point of view)
Lying, Bad Manners, Whining, Laziness, Sharing, Stealing, My Bad Temper, Paying Attention, Hurting Others, Disrespect, Greed, vandalism, bad words, being a bad sport, video games, bullying, cheating, homework, healthy eating.

Helping kids handle their anger:
• Mad Isn't Bad: A Child's Book about Anger (Elf-Help Books for Kids)
• I Just Don't Like the Sound of No! My Story About Accepting No for an Answer and Disagreeing the Right Way! (Best Me I Can Be) (WE LOVE THIS BOOK!!!!)
• Angry Octopus: An Anger Management Story

Helping Kids keep themselves safe: In all reality we aren’t always around to keep our kids safe, but we can give them the tools they need to handle themselves if a situation arises.
• A Little Book About Safety (teaches kids exactly what to do in case they get lost) (WE LOVE THIS BOOK!! Perfect for 3-5yr olds, special needs children, ALL CHILDREN)
Please read these books before reading them to your child ensure they are age/maturity level appropriate. I chose just a few pages here or there when my son was 4 as a preventative measure.
• An Exceptional Children's Guide to Touch: Teaching Social and Physical Boundaries to Kids (Good book to help discuss a difficult topic! I have passed this book around to many friends! Awareness is key to Prevention)
• I Said No! A kid-to-kid guide to keeping your private parts private
• My Body Belongs to Me

Helping kids Learn about God and teaching good Morals to live by (VeggieTales)
• Every Day with God: 365 Daily Devos for Boys
• Growing Day by Day: 365 Daily Devos for Boys

Helping Kids learn responsibility with money:
• Junior's Adventures: the Boxed Set
• The Berenstain Bears' Dollars and Sense
• Financial Peace Junior

Parent books: I have read over 30 books and these are the ones I liked
• Raising Boys With ADHD: Secrets for Parenting Healthy, Happy Sons (LOVE this book, great resources. I have been using it for 3 years now. It is categorized by age and the challenges that come with that age)
• Parenting Children with ADHD: 10 Lessons That Medicine Cannot Teach (APA Lifetools)
• Smart Money Smart Kids: Raising the Next Generation to Win with Money
• Driven to distraction
• The strong willed child
• Parenting isn’t for cowards (I just started reading but seem good so far)

My 6 year old really needed this book

15 June 2018 - Published on Amazon.com

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

Got this for my son who yells a lot, is whiny and always talking nonstop. We read it the first night and it has stayed with him. He will often yell and then immediately cover his mouth and say "my mouth is a volcano". It's so cute and I'm hoping he'll remember to not yell and be more mindful of his words and his voice. I think the book does what it's supposed to.

Great book!

24 March 2017 - Published on Amazon.com

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

I purchased several social skills books to help my Aspergers/ADHD 9 yo son. This is one of his favorites, in particular because he already likes volcanoes. :-). The book does a great job making it a visual on how words suddenly explode out of kids' mouths, and I loved the play on words used: "erupt" instead of "interrupt", which could be easily misunderstood by any child, and will make it easier to help kids remember not to "erupt"/"interrupt"! My son has requested this to be read to him several times. I do not know if he has the ability to use the strategies yet in his own life, but he does refer to words being a "volcano" occasionally, so I know the information is getting through! Great book!

Wonderful, Positive, Helpful Book

28 October 2016 - Published on Amazon.com

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

GREAT book for kids who interrupt and for mine who gets in trouble at school for it. This book actually helped my 5 year old better understand how others feel about interruptions, and this book also helped him find a better way to control himself- by inhaling all those words in through his nose, and holding them there, until it's time to let them back out.

Reading positive books is a GREAT way to support new, helpful behaviors.

Excellent!

I bought this book to use in my classroom but my own five year old son is also really into it. I love how it is told from a kid's perspective. The author seems to have real understanding and compassion for why kids interrupt. I think those book is good for understanding why it's bad to interrupt but without judgment for kids who struggle with it. It's a great book!!
