At Home
In short workshops, Peaceful Touch is now available to parents, teachers and health professionals.
With clear awareness of the value of touch, and specific tools for healthy touch, parents can achieve results similar to what has been documented in Swedish classrooms. See below.
In Schools
Benefits
In Swedish classrooms where the children's programs are now institutionalized and in the American classrooms just beginning the program, teachers report positive results for children including:
- greater empathy for peers
- improved concentration
- less fighting and aggressive behavior (recently confirmed with clinical research)
- better functioning in groups
- lower levels of anxiety and stress
Fundamentals
More than a century of scientific research and observation gives evidence to what many know by instinct: that touch is essential to human growth and development. Yet circumstance and custom too often raise obstacles to the day-to-day practice of healthy touch in children's lives.
The Peaceful Touch approach systematizes healthy touch for children in classrooms and other settings. Including healthy touch in games, storytelling, and learning exercises, children learn to respect their own bodies and the bodies of other children.
