Abstract:  A Manual of Nonviolence & Children is an outgrowth of the work of the Nonviolence & Children Program, begun in 1969 in Philadelphia by members of the Friends of Peace Committee. They felt that an important way of building a peaceful world would be to develop a program for young children. It would help children and their caregivers develop non-violent attitudes and skills. In 1974 the Nonviolence and Children Collective was formed. The Manual is divided into several sections: the Collective chose "Empowerment in an Age of Anxiety" as its theme in 1984, defining "empowerment" as the process of becoming hopeful and in charge of one's own life, which leads, in turn, to participation in social change. The authors feel that empowerment is a logical outgrowth of the work described in the manual. The steps to empowerment for the Manual's sections: feel good about ourselves; learn to empathize with others; find a supportive community; build confidence through solving our own problems, and make beauty and joy a part of our lives. The manual is divided into two main divisions: About Nonviolence and children, and For the Fun of it!, selected cooperative games for children and adults.
