“I Can Be a Peacemaker When I …” Friend, February 2017
I Can Be a Peacemaker When I …
-
Use a kind voice and kind words
-
Listen to others even when I don’t agree
-
Try to understand how others are feeling
-
Suggest ways to solve a problem
-
Say “sorry” when I make a mistake
-
Let go of angry feelings in a healthy way, like by exercising or writing in my journal
-
Pray to Heavenly Father for help in getting along
-
Use “I” messages, like “I feel ________________ when you ________________. Please ________________.”
Remember!
Being a peacemaker doesn’t mean you let other people hurt you. If someone is being really mean to you, tell a parent, friend, or trusted adult right away. You are an important child of God, and you deserve to be treated with respect!
