Peace. It is all around us, but it is sometimes hard to find.

We can find peace in a sleeping baby’s breath and in a Grandma’s closed eyes while rocking her grandchild to sleep.

Peace is feeling like all is well with the world, even if it’s only for a second.

And peace is a quality worth learning to look for and nurture.

In this post, we will share with you some great ideas on how to teach kids about peace.

You can print the list included here and be inspired to come up with ways to teach peace words for kids to follow and apply in their lives.

Peace Education for Children the Montessori Way

Maria Montessori, the founder of the Montessori Method, made a big point of building a peaceful environment for children to be in.

In order to foster peace, it must come from within, especially if you are looking at how to explain peace to a child.

There are many, many different ways to find, inspire, grow and foster peace in our lives and in our children’s lives.  

Teaching peace to kids is paramount because of their little, yet infinite absorbent minds.

First, we must teach children to look for peace and notice it around them. One way to do this is to play the Silence Game.

You can see how we play this wonderful game and get your free printable lists HERE.

Silence promotes calmness, aids tranquility in one’s thoughts and focusing in silence can help us order our thoughts and make us better people.

Children will greatly benefit from this activity.

How to Promote Peace in the World

So how can we promote peace?

As I mentioned, it begins within ourselves. But it doesn’t end there.

We then venture into our homes, our communities, our country and the world to make a change.

Peacemaking for kids is easy!

Let me share with you part of the list I put together with ideas on how to do just that.

You can see the rest of the list in the printable.

I suggest you print it up and keep it somewhere visible so you can apply it regularly.

Wouldn’t it be fun to pick one item or two on the list per week and come up with a plan with your kids to make it happen?

Take a look at an easy way to teaching children about peace and be inspired!
