Kids Pledge of Nonviolence
Making peace must start with me.
I commit myself as best I can to become
a nonviolent and peaceable person:

To Respect Myself And Others
To respect myself and other people and
to keep from saying or doing mean things to others.

To Communicate Better
To share my feelings honestly, to look for safe ways to talk and
act when I'm angry, and to work at solving problems peacefully.

To Listen
To listen carefully to others, especially those who disagree with me,
and to care about others' feelings and not always demand to have my own

To Forgive
To say I'm sorry and mean it
when I have hurt another person,
to forgive others when they have hurt me,
and to keep from holding grudges.

To Respect Nature
To treat the environment and all living things,
including my pets, with respect and care.

To Play Creatively
To play in fun ways and not mean ways, and to keep from using toys,
watching TV programs, and playing games
that make violence look exciting or funny.

To Be Courageous
To challenge violence in all its forms whenever I see it, whether at home, at school or in the community, and to stand with others who are treated unfairly.
