Children from elementary through high school learn to speak and listen to each other with empathy and compassion, to deal with differences and conflict in behalf of their relationships instead of against them, to check out misunderstandings and assumptions and to offer powerful, effective peer coaching to their friends, siblings and others. While significant aspects of the program have been field tested with youth for over 30 years, the full course was introduced to schools only in the mid-nineties. He expects the program to reach hundreds of thousands of students annually by the end of the decade.
