Peacemaking
Childhood is the time for little ones to practice conflict resolution, negotiating skills and peacemaking. Every child longs to be included and accepted in his peer group. Children need our support and encouragement to help them find win/win solutions to their battles. Most of all, children need us to believe peace is possible; on the payground and on our planet.

and childhood is the right time to practice
