Connecting with children:
An Introduction to PEACEfull Communication



Through games and role plays using situations from your everyday lives, we'll explore how to resolve conflicts and create relationships that are more fun by:

* Making observations (free from evaluations or judgements)
* Identifying and expressing our feelings (and taking responsibility for them)
* Naming our needs
* And making creative requests that could help get our needs met!

NVC offers us the tools to:

* Transform judgements, demands and punishments into opportunities for deep connection with your children where you listen and express yourself from your heart.
* Find solutions to conflicts in partnership with your child.
* Honour your child’s great needs for choice and autonomy and your own needs for peace of mind and cooperation.
* Create relationships infused with the trust that all human beings, young and older, are nourished when they can joyfully contribute to satisfying their own needs as well as those of others.

This is a 12-hour workshop which can be given in two days, 4 evenings or 4 half days. A 2-hour follow-up is also offered.
