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.
