It is possible to practice nonviolent communication in the family, communicating clearly and kindly, making agreements that children and parents can follow with real desire. In this course, we will delve into certain aspects of nonviolent communication and gain experience in applying useful practices to have more nonviolent communication in life and in the family, prioritizing relationships over results, choosing connection and understanding over coercion or imposition. We will learn how to ask our children for what we want without judging or blaming them; and how we can regret our inappropriate actions without blaming ourselves.
