The Peace Rug Curriculum Helps Address Teasing

Teasing is a huge problem in schools and elsewhere. None of us wants to feel bad about ourselves but when unkind remarks said in a joking fashion occur, we have little defense.

What can one say when, "I was just teasing," is heard? Teasing can happen about anything - someone's weight or height, the color of someone's hair, someone's race, difference in clothes, religion. Teasing often escalates into bullying, but The Peace Rug empowers the child who is teased to solve the conflict.
