Wouldn’t it be great to teach children interpersonal skills like we teach them carrying and borrowing in math? We teach children math skills slowly and over time, one concept building upon another until they are prepared to balance their checkbook when they are adults. The Scripture tells us to teach our children Biblical truth in the same way, line upon line, day after day. The Young Peacemaker approaches the subject of resolving personal conflicts in this way; it teaches children the basics of solving people problems. Our children are the future church, yet we recognize that because of our sinful nature our children will have conflicts with other believers that affect the life of the church. It is important for children to understand how to resolve conflict in Biblical ways. We cannot make our children into peacemakers (that is the work of the Spirit of God), but we can give them the necessary skills to resolve conflicts in their adult lives. Holding out for children the high standard of Scripture concerning relationships will point our children to their need for Christ. Therefore, it is always important to teach what is right.

The Young Peacemaker is divided into three parts: Understanding Conflict, Responding to Conflict, and Preventing Conflict. The three parts cover twelve key principles such as “Conflict is a Slippery Slope,” “Choices Have Consequences,” “Conflict is an Opportunity,” and “Forgiveness is a Choice.” Each lesson explores one of the twelve key principles, and each student workbook corresponds to one of the twelve key principles. For example, the lesson called “Conflict is a Slippery Slope,” examines the various responses we have to conflict. The top of the slippery slope is the proper response of “working it out.” If you slide down the slippery slope to the right you enter the danger zone of the “attack” response and if you slide down the slope to the left you enter the danger zone of the “escape” response. Both responses to the left or right are wrong and staying on top of the slippery slope is right. A simple diagram that children will remember illustrates the concept of the slippery slope. The student booklet covers the same theme with a story done in comic book style. By the time you have taught all twelve lessons, children will gain wonderful Biblical insight into resolving conflict.
