Growing up · ages 2 to 4
For the toddler whose hands move before the words do
A push at this age is a sentence your child cannot say yet: move, that is mine, you are too close. In this story your child, by name, feels the push coming, a grown-up's hand arrives first so it never lands, the feeling gets its name, and the hands get a job to do instead. Watch it together, and mad has somewhere to go.
- Your child in every scene, made from the details you choose
- Nothing lands: the push is stopped, nobody is hurt
- Mad is allowed, and it gets somewhere to go
- A flat hand and a stomp, both of which work
- Finn hides three times, with a question at the end

Why we made this one
A push at this age is a sentence the child cannot say yet. Move. That is mine. You are too close. The words are months away and the hands are right here, which is why grown-ups are told to block first and talk second, and why the talking works better once the body is safe.
So the hand in this story arrives before the push does. The line is short and said without shock. Then comes the part that changes tomorrow: the feeling is named out loud, mad is allowed, and both the hands and the feet are given something to do instead. A flat hand and a big STOP. A stomp, and the rest of the mad goes into the floor.
Repair is an action, not an apology. Your child hands a block over, the tower goes back up taller, and a cup gets passed at the table without a drop spilled. Strong hands and gentle hands, and both of them are theirs.
Three moments from the story
Every scene is made from scratch for your child, so these are written here rather than shown.
The hand between
Two hands go up, ready to push, and a grown-up's hand gets there first. I will not let you push. Not loud. Just sure.
Mad is allowed
You did not want your tower knocked. You are mad. Here is what hands can do instead: up, flat, and say STOP. It is tried, and it works.
A block handed over
The same hands do something new. A block goes to the little one, the tower goes back up, and now there are two builders.

Questions parents ask
- Does anybody get pushed in the story?
- No. The push is stopped before it lands and the little one is never touched roughly. The story shows the moment being caught, not the harm being done.
- Is my child made out to be the bad one?
- No. Nobody is called rough or naughty, there is no time-out, and nothing is taken away. Their anger is named as real and allowed, and then given two places to go.
- What can we borrow from it?
- One line for the moment, I will not let you push. A flat hand and a big STOP for the next time somebody comes too close. A stomp for the rest of the mad. And repair as something the hands do, a block handed back and a tower rebuilt.
- We have a baby or a younger sibling. Does that fit?
- Yes. The little one in the story is a visiting toddler, so it reads for a sibling, a cousin, or a friend at daycare. The grown-up moves the little one to safety without anybody being scolded.
- Who is Finn?
- Finn is our little fox. He hides three times in this story, and at the end the film asks how many times you spotted him, then shows where he was.
- How long is it and when does it arrive?
- About two and a half minutes. It is ready within 24 hours, usually much sooner, and you get an email the moment it is done.
- What does it cost?
- $14.99 USD, one time. During launch it is $9.99. Prices outside the United States are shown in your own currency.
