I have shared this story as part of an earlier post but it is so heart touching it deserves its own post.
A kindergarten girl was being "bothered" by two classmates who were "mean" to her. She tried all the strategies her mother and grandmother taught her but none of them worked. Her grandmother asked me for suggestions on how to handle the situation more effectively.
Immediately, the idea of singing Love Peace and Harmony for the little girl, the students who were "bothering" her, their teacher, every grown person who came into the classroom, the parents of all her classmates and the siblings of her classmates. A small group of five of us sang Love Peace and
Harmony daily for 15 minutes. We included all these groups. After only two weeks the situation had changed. The rapport continued to improve until after just a matter of weeks one of the "mean" students invited the little girl home for a play date!
This is absolutely the most effective solution to bullying that I have ever experienced is all the years I taught school. It brought results and it was totally cost effective.
I would love to hear stories of how you have used Love Peace and Harmony to transform situations.
Love and blessings,
Master Marilyn
