The delightful Barnyard Buddies engage everyone as they show how to use peaceful conflict resolution and dialogue for problem-solving! This award-winning, richly illustrated children's book, for ages 3 to 8, conveys important social skills and anger management tools. With a wonderful Parent and Educator Guide, and a complete Mentor Program Guide included, this is a comprehensive smart tool! Plus, kids love it!

The Barnyard Buddies are angry because King is taking all the space under the shelter. After they stop and breathe, and get guidance from a wise owl, they can hear how King is hurt and lonely and solve the problem. This guides children toward developing skills for anger management, empathy, and compassion. Keys to success in life.

Children relate to the loveable characters, whose emotions are charmingly revealed by artist Jorry Keith. The heartfelt way Julie Penshorn presents this topic, the sensitive illustrations, and the music that supports the learning, make this book a children's favorite!

The cornerstone for the entire "STOP for Peace" process is S, STOP and breathe. Peace is only possible when all have cooled off and embraced the insights provided by anger management, then they can dialogue about their other emotions in step T, Tell how you feel. O, Open your mind (brainstorm) and P, Plan a deal are the remaining steps. When people can safely speak from their hearts, they find solutions that work for all. That's the sign of successful conflict resolution!

Music notation for the "STOP for Peace" song is included, to reinforce the learning. "I STOP for Peace" companion CD, also by Julie Penshorn, is available through the publisher and other outlets (look for it on the site you are on right now!) where music is sold. The music builds the skills and carries them deep into the brain so they are never forgotten.
