Why is communication with children so difficult sometimes?
Would you like to transform power struggles into connection?
Turn resistance into mutual understanding?
Change anger to a flow of love, care and harmony?
Wednesday evenings with Marije Roos:
10 session course: 08 May – 10 July 2024, 18:30-21:30
Nonviolent Communication (NVC)
NVC is a simple, powerful and practical tool that helps us to see clearly what blocks our communication, and what we can do differently to manifest and live our deepest values with children.
NVC shows us ways to create sustainable connection and cooperation based on intrinsic motivation from both sides.
We will focus on the following skills
❀ How to transform anger into connection from both sides
❀ How to transform conflict into dialogues with understanding and connection
❀ Empathic listening- how to hear what your children are REALLY trying to say, no matter how they express it
❀ Self-care while caring for our child(ren)/family – how to deeply listen to ourselves, to the depth of what is important to us, and how to communicate that in a way that fosters compassion and cooperation
❀ Stand clearly for our boundaries without using threats or punishments – how to move from being a policeman/woman into just being humans together
❀ How to create peaceful dialogues that include and connect us all
❀ And much more…
Learning style
You will be invited to work on examples from your own life in an interactive and safe learning environment. We will practice Nonviolent Communication through demonstrations, role-play and exercises in order to integrate NVC values and language more into our daily lives.
The way we teach is: 30% Theory and 70% of Practice/Demonstration/Learning from LIVE situations that are happening in the here and now. Our focus is very much on the Embodied aspect of ‘Nonviolent Communication’, so be ready to dive.
Extra support
Assistants: We will have assistants accompanying us during this course. They’ve already completed the Basic, Intermediate and Year Courses with us and some are engaged in their steps toward teaching/sharing NVC.
