The Queen's Palace Guards

As we go through life, we all encounter ona’as devarim, the Torah’s term for verbal abuse, whether in speech or gestures. While many people dismiss these incidents as “just words,” the truth is that the body reacts to harsh criticism, disapproval, as if it had been dealt an actual physical blow. The Queen’s Palace Guards gives your children — whose sense of identity is being shaped mainly by what others think of them — the skills they need to feel empowered instead of helpless in the face of inevitable negativity or disrespect. Parents and educators will find the ideas played out in this entertaining story an invaluable resource for teaching kids how to.
