What is Taking time to Think: learning to make good choices about?

Hippo often rushes into situations without thinking, and his hasty choices sometimes lead to trouble. As he faces everyday problems, he begins to discover the importance of pausing, considering his feelings and thinking about what might happen next. With gentle storytelling and relatable examples, this book helps children explore self-control, decision-making and responsibility. Discussion activities for adults and children encourage thoughtful conversations about thoughts, feelings and behaviour, making it a useful read for developing emotional awareness and wiser choices.
