Which kit is right for me?
Great question! If you’re a new user, the answer to that is most likely to be the Kelso’s Choice Conflict Management Kit. This is our foundational curriculum, which counselors and educators tell us works wonders in helping greatly reduce tattling and discipline referrals in kids K-5.
How does it do this? Simple! It teaches kids the difference between a big problem that requires adult help (things that feel dangerous, for example) and small problems kids can fix themselves. Then it teaches 9 easy-to-remember choices to help solve small problems, empowering kids to become problem-solving machines!
It’s no wonder that this curriculum has been used by schools and counselors for over 25 years.

What grades is Kelso's Choice used in?
Our recommended grade suggestions are K-5, although we’ve found that preschools and pre-readers can also get benefit from our fun and visual easy-to-use system.
We’ve segmented the lessons and materials for K-3 and 4-5, with different art and language for each age group. The materials for the younger kids features our beloved Kelso the frog, active learning and easy-to-follow instructions. The materials for the older kids feature pre-teens in situations kids will recognize and relate to.
