How do you deal with a two-year-old when
he grabs every toy his friend plays with? What do you say to
a four year old who screams in rage when her baby brother
cries? How do you talk with a ten-year-old about the chores
he left undone - again? What strategies will help keep your
teenager open with you - and safe? Parenting from Your Heart
explores how Nonviolent Communication (NVC) can support
parents in facing challenges like these in ways that are
more likely to meet everyone's needs and nurture deeper
connection among family members. Includes topics like
self-empathy, dealing with anger, mediating between
children, and more.
The author, Inbal Kashtan, is the
Parenting Project coordinator for the Center for Nonviolent
Communication. She facilitates workshops around the country
and co-leads an NVC leadership program. Her greatest teacher
for the past several years has been her son, who has been
mentoring her on what it means to live nonviolently.
