Let there be peace on Earth...and let it begin with somebody else

Tonight, for FHE we talked a little about being peacemakers in our home. We role played a true-to-life scenario and had what we thought was some measure of success in comprehension.

After closing our family powwow Emma and Abbie had some minor disagreement. We gently reminded them..."Oh remember, we can choose to be a peacemaker in our home". Their response to each other..."I'm not gonna be the peacemaker - YOU be the peacemaker! - No YOU" and so on.

Ben and I couldn't help ducking down behind the couch and having a hearty chuckle. And hey, on the bright side - We don't have to plan a new lesson for next week!

Your FHE sounds a lot like the one we attempted to have last night. A little intense but it ended in hugs so it wasn't a total loss. You would think we would be better at this by now . . .
