TO BE INSPIRED FOR THE NEW YEAR

Media in 2016 gave us many, many examples of ugly behavior: name calling, bullying, false news etc by adults
almost everyday. Adele Looney, wife of the founder of
this ATV COURSE, sent me a list of reactions to bad
behavior she keeps on her refrigerator door.

To begin 2019 I think this list is worth sharing:
BE HELPFUL............BE LOVING
BE KIND.............BE PATIENT
BE TOLERANT............BE JUST
BE GENTLE............BE JOYFUL
BE FORGIVING............BE SLOW TO ANGER
HAVE SELF CONTROL

These behaviors are great additions to ATV COURSE
SESSION ONE
which emphasizes how to de-escalate conflict and
potential violence. I hope you go to the Masthead or
bottom of page listing components and for SESSION ONE
and examine how violence escalates through
retaliation.

BEST WISHES FOR 2019 studying and working for
PEACE, JUSTICE AND NONVIOLENCE❣️
