Used daily, The Peace Rug changes a child's behavior, character, and words.
No more words - no more books - no more intellectual discussions on how to teach children to be good people and have good character. Now there is an effective curriculum that is a proven success and is research based. It is called The Peace Rug.
Used daily, The Peace Rug changes a child's behavior from the inside out.
To instill quality character in children, something has to be available everyday in every classroom. Children of all ages need something to use immediately to reinforce positive behavior and good character qualities. That "something" is The Peace Rug where good character is built through children's positive experiences.
Various programs may be effective for the short term, but essentially, these programs fail over the long-term because behavior does not permanently change. With The Peace Rug, the difference is a learned process that can alter behavior.
The Peace Rug is the ideal curriculum to teach character education.
Some character traits are given below, along with the impact of teaching The Peace Rug curriculum:
Respect - Invite someone to go to the Peace Rug rather than arguing or fighting and you choose to show respect for yourself and for the other person. You treat someone the way you want to be treated.
Responsibility - Take responsibility to try to solve problems on your own in a respectful and peaceful way. The Peace Rug allows both persons to be accountable for choices they have made and for what they plan to do in the future.
Perseverance - Keep trying to solve the problem in a respectful way when things are difficult and that is persevering - even if someone turns you down to go to The Peace Rug.
Caring - Feel more compassionate towards the other person. The Peace Rug teaches children to be more caring towards one another and to be more forgiving.
Self-discipline - If you've ever been invited to The Peace Rug because of something you've done to someone else, it makes you think about doing it again - to that person or anyone else!
Citizenship - By seeking to have peace with your classmates, teachers, and others in your life, you are being a good citizen.
Honesty - Be honest in one's feelings when coming to The Peace Rug. It takes a tremendous amount of courage to invite someone to The Peace Rug because you will be talking about feelings and sometimes that's very tough, but continue until you can reach a peaceful solution. You will be glad you did!
Fairness - Since each person has a turn on The Peace Rug, there is a sense of fairness - a sense of equality - that no one is better than anyone else - even bullies!
Character education can be taught easily and effectively with The Peace Rug.
