In 1926 International Peace Month was declared. You can briefly explain to your children about conflicts, war, and peace. This month, you can read history books with your family about wars. Depending on your child's age, you can read stories about the lives of soldiers and World War I. Calmly discuss with them the current wars and wars from the past.
Donate to charities that support veterans. Visit cemeteries and place flowers on the fallen soldiers' grave sites. Additionally plant a tree, a new flower, or a new plant. Read biographies and history books about leaders who promoted peace. The entire month of August can be used to bring awareness of the consequences of war and the hope for world peace.
Ring a bell for a few minutes in silence. If the bell is too loud, use a battery-operated candle and have it lit for one hour. Read peace quotes to yourself or with your family. Watch less news on tv if it makes you and your family anxious. Last, wear a dove pin, peace symbol pin, or a white ribbon to bring awareness to International Peace month.
Children must be informed, educated, and know the symbols of peace. Spend one or two days learning about the symbols of peace. Make paper doves, paper flowers, or peace jewelry with your children. Furthermore, make sure your child stays calm and ask them if they have questions. Here are links about International Peace Month.
