We are going to be doing a rotation model summer study using UMC Peacemaking curriculum. What an important topic for our time. The news lately of the high school girls attacking each other has left me with convictions that we need to help our children learn non violent conflict management. I also think we need to help parents model this. I have noticed elementary aged girls hitting other girls ( even 3rd graders) when they are jealous or want something. I have noticed children who are bullied unable to respond. I've noticed a few boys who slap younger sisters frequently.
I obvious respond to each situation. Any ideas of ways to teach children that this behavior is inappropriate and that peaceful resolutions are not only the moral choice but also a more productive choice in resolving conflict, If we pray for God's Kingdom to come on earth we must work toward those ends. I work among well educated, wealthy, highly competitive people.
This may be a contributing factor. They are trying their best but we need to do more. Shalom !!

I would love to see your curriculum for Peacemakers. I also have the umc curriculum, but find it difficult to teach. What else did you use?
