Publisher's Synopsis
To reduce humanity's reliance on using violence everyone must be taught the basic skills4 peace on a parallel track to our academic training starting when we learn our ABC's- a training continuum of peace skills we call PeaceSkills101. We have categorized these essential peacemaking skills into a skill set of formative, connective, responsive and restorative peace skills ranging from Mindfulness to Restorative Circles. A track of study in these basic peace skills should be taught to all our children beginning in daycare programs all the way thru their high school graduation. They can be taught to the rest of us who are not in school thru a multifaceted approach including adult education and by professional trainers both in person and online. All violence results from the failure to do peace. Conflict can be resolved without violence if people are taught their Skills4Peace - just like they are taught and trained to do their ABC's.
