It has never escaped me that AP Month falls on Domestic Violence Awareness Month every year, each October. Being a domestic violence survivor myself and now working in the field as an advocate, it is my sincere belief that how we raise our children can change the world, and if we go the extra mile, so to speak, to teach them healthy relationship and peaceful conflict resolution skills, that they will "pay it forward" with their life choices. They can at least change the legacy of their family tree, though I am far from giving up hope for the next generation with API's influence.

API honors parents and caregivers as the ultimate peacemakers. Children internalize the values we transmit over time through our own actions and interactions. Parenting infused with peace and harmony informs the responses of our future global leaders as they face conflict. We aim to support parents in peaceful and harmonious impulses, so they might be reflected in future global conditions. Parents and caregivers who foster peaceful  relationships with their children make real contributions toward this global goal.

We often reflect on whether or not API has made a difference in our efforts toward peace. API isn’t about promoting just parenting strategies: We have a broader long-term vision we have often described as “peaceful parenting for a peaceful world.” API's cofounders inspire parents of how to do this on API's blog.
