The Peace Plan™
The Peace Plan: A Children’s Book for Conflict Resolution and SEL
The Peace Plan: Helping Families Heal One Conversation at a Time is a trauma-informed children’s book designed to teach essential social-emotional skills, including active listening, emotional validation, accountability, and repair after conflict.
This resource supports both families and schools in helping children develop healthy communication and relationship skills. Rather than focusing only on behavior correction, The Peace Plan introduces a structured approach to conflict resolution that children can understand and apply in real-life situations.
Ideal for:
• Parents teaching emotional regulation and communication at home
• Teachers integrating social-emotional learning (SEL) into the classroom
• School counselors supporting peer conflict and restorative conversations
• MTSS and PBIS frameworks focused on Tier 1 prevention and skill-building
By teaching children how to listen, validate, and repair relationships, The Peace Plan helps build the foundation for stronger connections, improved classroom environments, and long-term emotional well-being.
Preorder The Peace Plan and start teaching children the skills of listening, validation, and repair.
