Watching this clip reminded me so much of this quote from Heather Shumaker, the author of our current NJC Read Along Book , Its OK NOT to Share (quote from her blog heathershumaker): Kids don’t learn about peace by singing about it. Kids learn peace skills by having problems. My mentor Jan Waters taught me that. Kids also don’t learn peace skills by coloring “Friends” handouts or by signing their names at the bottom of school “no bullying policy” forms. It’s more complicated than that. Learning strong social and communication skills is a process. It involves boundary setting, empathy, courage, problem-solving, emotional acceptance and positive assertiveness. Imagine if all our leaders had the communication and problem-solving skills Heather writes about! ijreview/2014/06/150374-uncomfortable-54-seconds-american-politics-might-ever-see/
