Free the Children: Conflict Education for Strong Peaceful Minds

This book offers a unique approach to helping ourselves and our children break free from negative cultural and media conditioning that creates aggression and conflict. Covering pre-K through twelfth grade, it presents five essential components necessary for an effective conflict education curriculum that is developmentally appropriate, and explores key issues including raising a peaceful male child in a violent world; the effect of media violence on children; school bullies; dating violence; and empowering adolescent girls to refuse the role of the "victim."
