The delightful Barnyard Buddies engage everyone as they show how to use anger management and dialogue for peaceful conflict resolution! This rhyming, richly illustrated children's book - ages 3 to 9 - conveys important social skills and provides effective peacemaking skills to all who read it! Use at home or at school; a wonderful parenting tool! The book can be used as a conflict resolution curriculum for preschool through grade 3 classrooms. Kids love it!

Children can relate to the lovable characters, whose emotions are charmingly revealed by artist Jorry Keith. The heartfelt way Julie Penshorn presents this topic, and the sensitive illustrations, make this book a children’s favorite!

The cornerstone for the entire "STOP for Peace" process is the first step, S -- STOP and breathe. Peace is most possible when all have cooled off and embraced the insights provided through personal anger management, then they can dialogue about their other emotions in step T--Tell how you feel. O--Open your mind (brainstorm) and P -- Plan a deal are the remaining steps. When people can safely speak from their hearts, they can most often problem solve and find solutions that work for all. That’s the sign of successful conflict resolution!

Includes a parent and teacher guide that includes questions for discussion and ideas to extend the learning. Music notation for the “STOP for Peace” song is also included, to reinforce the learning. "I STOP for Peace" companion CD, also by Julie Penshorn, is available through the publisher, Smart Tools for Life, and other outlets (look for it on the site you are on right now!) where music is sold. The music builds the skills and carries them deep into the brain so they are never forgotten.

Add an extra book to your cart to give to a teacher, a neighbor, or a friend! Help your child experience a safer, friendlier, classroom environment where all of the children involved in a conflict have a say in finding a solution. The sense of belonging and inclusiveness provided in this type of setting helps reduce childhood trauma and build social skills, two keys to adult success.
