Richele spoke to us about the PAX Good Behavior Game being implemented in some of the classrooms in our community. The PAX Good Behavior Game changes children’s futures by using positive reinforcement in a unique way.  This evidence based program teachers educators how to integrate the game into the curriculum and has achieved startling results in our schools.

As a child acquires PAX— the mental ability to sustain attention, to self-regulate or self-manage, and to cooperate with others intentionally to create peace, productivity, health and happiness for self and others, so that all of this repeats the cycle for future generations.  The PAX Good Behavior Game is the teacher invented, scientifically proven tool that allows every teacher to reach students in a positive way.
