Status Updates From The Young Peacemaker: Teach...

Taking Caleb through this for the summer and it’s really good! Very practical and a good level for him. It’s good timing bc he’s had some experience with conflict at school this past year.

Forgot about this one. Abandoned it awhile ago. My daughter asked if we could pick it up again now. "I think we need it." She's probably right. Note to self: continue this study with the kids on spring break. (Should have done it over Christmas break...)

My daughter says this helps her a lot and asked me to restart it, so I did. I think it's a good aid to teaching conflict avoidance and good choices for kids her age (about 7-9), but I think the tone is inappropriate for the middle schoolers at whom it is supposedly aimed. They should either talk down less or change to elementary school examples and aim it at 2nd-4th graders.

I kind of gave up on this. It was useful in some ways, but I'm just lazy I guess. My daughter wants to do it and my son doesn't. My daughter hears it all and regurgitates the information –even while typically doing the opposite, so...I don't know. I'll revisit later.
