This course is designed for parents, teachers and other professionals working with children, who want to explore how to live Nonviolent Communication (NVC) in relationships with young children, teens, adult children, and other adults involved in their lives.
Throughout the 8 sessions, we focus on living NVC naturally, even under stress, in moments of reactivity, and when navigating limits, autonomy, and conflict. You will have ample opportunity to bring your own situations into the sessions and practice skills relevant to your life. Between sessions, you will receive reading materials, exercises, and optional peer practice. The average time commitment outside of class is about one hour per session.
Possible Topics We May Explore in the Course
Participants can expect to engage with a variety of themes, possibly including:
*Deepening self-connection under stress and responsibility
*Recognizing and working with triggers and reactivity
*Hearing the needs behind behavior you find challenging
*Expressing honesty and vulnerability grounded in needs
*Going beyond punishment and reward
*Navigating conflicts around and with children
*Supporting autonomy in children, teens, and adult children
*Guilt, shame and inner conflict
*Expressing appreciation rather than praise
*Living NVC when others are not using it
*Bringing empathy to oneself and others in emotionally charged situations
*Responding to resistance, withdrawal, or defiance
Note to Participants: This course is designed to be flexible and responsive to the group. Depending on the participants and their situations, we may cover some or all of these topics, or explore other challenges and questions you bring. The emphasis is always on practical application, personal growth, and connection, so you will leave each session with insights and practices relevant to your life.
Format
Groups are intimate, with a maximum of 12 participants, so there is plenty of space to bring in your own situations and receive guidance and feedback. Sessions include:
Exchanging empathy
Group sharing
Learning new material
Observing and practicing with the instructor
Working in small groups/breakout rooms
Between sessions, participants will receive reading materials and practice exercises, and are invited to connect with fellow participants.
