Parenting with Nonviolent Communication (NVC)


Above is a video about parenting with Nonviolent Communication (NVC).

We often think, for example, that children are doing things deliberately to annoy us.  But this is not a human need.  What needs are they trying to meet?  And how can parents and children get their needs met?

I have written about NVC in some of my books, including Success Strategies for Black People and Affirmations for ParentsGo here for books about NVC and nonviolence.

The Basics of Nonviolent Communication 1.5



Continuing this series of videos with Marshall Rosenberg about NVC.

In NVC, when we judge, we judge whether needs are being met.  Needs are what connects us with life, with the life force energy, and NVC is the language of life.

We need to express our feelings, but our feelings are not dependent on the actions of others.  They are caused by our needs, either met or unmet.
