RE: Probably The Best Parenting Advice You'll Read! Don't say No! Never praise, complement, or reward. no demands or punishments! The real roots and meaning of NonViolent Communication.

in #ecotrain6 years ago

i think the deeper meaning is the bypass of polarity and the communication of ones needs rather than a one sided domination. If we look at extreme examples this idea is hard to grasp.. so looking at a simple example of it being bed time would be a better example. When the child asks if they can stay up,, instead of NO, we explain why we arent comfortable with that.. and explain ourselves.. We are not the american police state where we must follow orders.. well we are actually, and that is what this post seeks to change. WE dont need to order each other around, we need to urgently learn HOW to communicate with our kids and each other. . because it can be SO much easier when we understand the power behind the words we use..

watch that vid man.. seriously.. he changed my world!
