Violence is a heavily-charged and deeply political concept.
Its meaning, its causes, and ways to prevent it are all hotly debated daily. Saying no to violence offers some enlightenment. This book looks more broadly at what 'violence' might mean, and suggests practical and positive ways for parents and teachers of young children to come to grips with this contentious and essentially complex issue. Saying no to violence shows how, if we want a less violent and more peaceful world, we must develop a positive vision of that world. We also need to develop the nonviolent social values that can bring this new world about.
