ABSTRACT
Nancy Carlsson-Paige is professor of education at Lesley University and a co-founder of Lesley’s masters degree program in conflict resolution and peaceable schools. For more than twenty years, Nancy has been studying both the effects of violence-especially media violence-on children’s social development and how children learn the ideas and skills for caring relationships and positive conflict resolution. She has coauthored four books and many articles on media violence and its effects on children and how children learn the skills of conflict resolution. She is the author of Best Day of the Week, a children’s book about conflict resolution. I was delighted to finally meet Nancy on a trip back to Boston. I found her to be a kindred spirit and a compassionate advocate for all the values expressed in this book.
