Kelso's Choice
Conflict Management for
Children
"It's your choice"

A program to empower K-5 Students
Kelso’s Choice empowers children to use the
skills of conflict management in school, in the
community and at home. The curriculum is easily
adapted to a variety of settings: school-wide,
classrooms, small groups and individual
counseling.

     Kelso's Choice is unique in two ways:

it builds a foundation for children to
discriminate between manageable, "kid-size"
problems and those that require adult
intervention.

it provides a cognitive structure of nine
tangible skills that can be used to solve "small"
problems.

Kelso's Choice
is predicated on the assumption
that annoying, "small" problems can usually be
solved by students, but "big" problems (things
that make a child feel threatened or frightened)
must be shared with an adult.
