Program
Synopsis:
To teach students how to get along by giving them tools and techniques
that can help reduce school fighting, work through peer pressure
and control anger. At the core of this successful elementary school
educational conflict management program are tips and suggestions
on how to improve listening and problem solving
Peking Duck opens the forty-five minute program with a brief definition
of what the words Conflict and Resolution
mean. In the course of the
conversation he realizes that the title of the program should be
"It's Ok To Waddle Away." Richard reminds him of how they
were in disagreement about
the title and how through the help of a mediator they were able
to come to a
compromise. From this short skit, the
students learn a little about mediation, compromise and some simple
tools to help resolve conflict.
Minky the Monkey learns kindness,
manners and how to use the time-out technique when a conflict situation
arises. Students learn how to STOP, THINK
BEFORE THEY REACT, when Richard shares a personal story of
when he was young and how he made a positive choice to peacefully
handle a kid who was constantly stealing his winter hat.
Students yell out loud
when Richard's anger management drawing comes to life, demonstrating
three easy tips of how to erase away their anger without creating
conflict or hurting anyone.
Richard's
big blue friend Ned finds out that losing your temper and throwing
your friend's cat in the pond is no way to solve a problem. He learns
that when we fail to STOP THINK BEFORE WE
REACT, we create more conflict. Richard reminds him that
he needs to remember to walk away.
As an added bonus, two students help Richard to demonstrate respect
and understanding. The upper elementary
students get a special treat when two lucky teachers are dressed
up as Dot and Com. Com becomes agitated with Dot for hanging out
with Org and Edu and it is up to the students in the audience to
mediate and offer suggestions on how they solve their conflict and
bring the world wide web back to normal.
Everyone of our staff members agree the it was one of
the best educational assembly programs we have ever had. It was very
informative yet entertaining.
You kept the student's attention while at the same time reinforcing
your message of walking away to stop and think before you react.
We all voted that we want you back every year to reinforce this valuable
message."

Richard,
We
rate your program excellent when it comes to creativity,
educational value and communication of resolving student conflicts. All
teachers commented on what an excellent program you presented. One kindergarten
student commented on the playground, that one other student pushed him
and he walked away.
