The beginning years are critical in forming a child’s mind, social skills, cognitive development and interaction with others. When a moral foundation is laid with positive character traits such as respect, compassion, forgiveness, asking, self-control and honesty, that child is guaranteed to live a more peaceful life.

This manual has been especially designed to begin teaching character from newborn through the age of four. The lessons can also be used to read to and teach a baby even while he’s still in the womb! The Peaceful Solution Character Education Program Early Learning For The Formative Years can help children develop positive social skills so that they can interact respectfully with others, no matter the age.

This program is filled with suggestions and tips for parents and teachers to foster positive character in the very young, with lesson plans and activities for babies, toddlers and preschool children. It is an invaluable tool to teach children concepts that will help them make right choices, have healthy, respectful interactions and avoid risk-taking behaviors. Many studies have shown that early character education can curtail problematic behaviors in childhood through adulthood.

We know kindergarten age students are joyful, energetic and ever eager to learn. School can be a wonderful place for four and five year olds and as parents and teachers we want their experiences to be positive and meaningful.

A new learning environment can, however, present challenges to our young children. Often, these challenges come with conflicts, anxieties, and frustrations.

We need a program that can address these issues in a constructive way, a program that will take advantage of these daily challenges and help kindergarten age children to learn character-building skills.

Providing daily, easy to understand, practical application is what the Peaceful Solution Character Education Program is all about. As simple as learning “how to ask” and having ample opportunity to practice begins a life journey of respectful, responsible behavior.

Bounding with energy and optimism first graders delight in the learning process. As parents and teachers we want to make the best use of their joyful confidence and make character building a focal part of each school day.  

While eager to learn, five and six year old students frequently encounter many conflicts that must be handled in appropriate and acceptable ways. 

As educators, we constantly search for simple methods to effectively communicate with our first graders. We hope to correct the inappropriate behavior without in any way hindering the natural zeal for learning.

Building on the respectful skill of “asking” the Peaceful Solution Character Education Program delves into the concept of self-control with a distinctive approach. Your first graders will love to discover “what belongs to me, what belongs to you”; in so doing they are provided with friendly, non-threatening means to work through conflicts.  Teaching our children the rights of ownership, at an early age, has proven to be invaluable to their becoming well-adjusted adults.

Second graders, comfortable with school routines, are now learning about choices and are eager to make some of their own decisions. Still impressionable, six and seven year olds require the continued guidance of trusted adults.   

Many positive decisions are made along the way but there are also the negative ones – the ones made impulsively, all too often as a result of growing peer pressure. Children are easily influenced by the words and actions of others, frequently setting a pattern for years to come.   

Making the right choice is a new and rewarding experience for grade two students. As educators and parents we want to provide our students with a safe variety of choices to aid them with the decision making process. We need a program, which will teach students how to identify influences – whether they are positive or negative. The Peaceful Solution Character Education Program provides the tools we’ve been looking for to meet our objectives and keep a guiding hand in the lives of our second grade students. Children, who are given the opportunity to explore the rewards or consequences of the choices they make, without incurring any serious harm, are children who gain an ability to stop and reason before proceeding with an action or decision.

Most third graders love going to school. School provides a social environment that nurtures shared interests in hobbies and activities with their friends and classmates. With a longer attention span, the eight-year-old child has a deeper appreciation for details and rules. 

As much as third grade students enjoy the ability to learn, recite, and follow the rules they are just as easily distracted by outside influences and in a moment they seem to completely forget the details and rules they had readily memorized. Friends and sudden change in interests often leave third graders vulnerable to risk-taking behavior and conflicts.  

The Peaceful Solution Character Education Program reiterates learned concepts of “asking for permission” and practicing “self-control” which helps third graders to resolve conflicts in practical ways.  As parents and teachers we need a program that emphasizes our role as trusted authorities that third graders can rely on and turn to for guidance to follow those rules of safety. The Peaceful Solution Character Education Program also provides lessons to enable us to teach young children about their responsibilities and chores.

Fourth graders are changing rapidly; becoming nine years old presents many challenges to your students. Stressful, emotional days with equally exuberant, satisfying days can make this grade level demanding for even the most experienced of teachers. 

As fourth grade students struggle with rights and wrongs, peer pressure has become a strong influence. This is not to say these influences are all negative but parents and teachers must be aware and must maintain their efforts of being the trusted role model this age group still needs to rely on.  

Educators are looking for a character program that stresses honesty and respect for authority, how to choose friends and recognize the difference between positive and negative role models. The Peaceful Solution Character Education Program delivers all of the above in a powerful format. The Program advances character-building skills by exploring the rights of ownership and privacy.

A great deal of discussion and character comprehension is woven into the narratives and questionnaires to help nine year olds make sense of right and wrong behavior.

Educators appreciate the comprehensive material as a springboard to meaningful dialogue between them and their students. “Sticking with” positive character development, as presented in The Peaceful Solution Character Education Program, along with “determined effort” over the months ahead, will better prepare your students for pre-adolescence.

Maturing steadily, grade five students are much more capable for independent activity and study but continue to enjoy and do well with group interactions. However, frustrations and conflicts can arise over misunderstandings, quarrels, perceived or actual bullying, embarrassment and so forth.  

Grade five students look for guidance to deal with difficult situations, yet they want to make many of their own decisions. Parents and teachers want to provide the necessary structured environment ensuring plenty of opportunity for healthy dialogue to diffuse any risk-taking behavior that may surface from time to time.   

Educators will need a program that continues to build on a solid foundation established in earlier grades. They need repetition on topics such as respect and consideration for others, responsibility with chores, recognizing rights of ownership and privacy as well as groundwork for the setting of realistic goals. The Peaceful Solution Character Education Program addresses these areas and continues to stress the importance of self-control and honesty. Ten year olds will welcome The Peaceful Solution Character Education Program in their lives for the encouragement it gives them to achieve coupled with the reassurance that they are growing in a positive direction.

Pre-teens need character education now more than ever. The world is full of influences and every single one of them is readily accessible to our pre-adolescents. Studies, findings, case histories, and sadly – statistics should be enough to prove, to all of us, that our children are heavily bombarded with subject matter they are ill-equipped to handle.

As parents and educators we need a comprehensive, quality-based character education program, which addresses all these issues and more – from a “get educated” point of view. We cannot simply warn our young people of dangers anymore. We must respectfully teach them with explanations that appeal to their youthful interests, furnishing them with answers for making the quick decisions to sudden problems that come almost daily in this age group. Our means must be friendly and demonstrate our genuine concerns, but more importantly, show our trust in their ability to put the pieces together, so it makes sense to them, knowing they will ultimately make the right choices.

The Peaceful Solution Character Education Program presents five separate units of character building as its primary objective – Character, Acceptance, Self-Control, Respect, and Responsibility. These five hands on units will thoroughly delight pre-teens as they find out about themselves, their peers, and the world. 

The Peaceful Solution Character Education Program comes to us at the right time – the time our growing children need character building skills the most. As teachers we want our students to do what is right, regardless of pressure to do otherwise. The knowledge they gain through these interactive lessons will enable them to stop and consider the outcome of their decisions before making them. Their well-thought choices will reflect the understanding they have acquired through this Program, along with your efforts to guide them to live a safe and joyous life. Experience is not the best teacher – you are!

Students who have successfully completed the goals and objectives within the five character-building units at the intermediate level – Character, Self-Control, Acceptance, Responsibility and Respect are now prepared to delve into character building in a powerful way.

The true essence of moral positive character development is found, not only in its pursuit of personal goals and achievements, but rather in a higher cause with reasons that extend out to others, the community, and the world.

The Peaceful Solution Character Education Program, Building Moral Excellence is written for those who want to make a difference. Leadership and management skills, being a role model for others to emulate are but a few of the topics thoroughly explored in the first of a series of five programs – the Advanced Unit on Character.

Moral Excellence can be achieved – it’s not pride or arrogance – it’s humility in demonstrating a willingness to change, to improve. It’s concern and it’s respect for the needs of all life – people, animals, plants, and the environment – the future of our planet.
