Welcome to “Nourishing Wisdom in Children”, Episode #60 of Co-creating Peace, a podcast series about conscious communication and conflict transformation. 

I’m joined today by Gramps Jeffrey, to talk about his children’s book, “I Don’t Want to Turn 3”, a book that explores what goes through a toddler’s mind as he faces turning 3. Age 3, as this toddler sees it, is the age when he’ll have to take responsibility for his actions, which he is not looking forward to. This story also involves conflict resolution with children, and the roles that parents and grandparents can have in nourishing wisdom in children. It is based on the true experiences Gramps Jeffrey has had with his 6 grandchildren.
