Couldn't love this more. Immersing yourself in and integrating principles of NVC does not mean the children won't fight. Nor does it mean you have to solve their squabbles. It means you may be able to meet the explosive, escalating moment by simply seeing 2 dysregulated kids who need a calm presence to support them in regulating their own nervous systems. Beautiful, Sarah!
Although I am not raising children, I find your blog super helpful and inspiring.
Today it revealed another layer of understanding around how being in touch with my needs can open new possibilities / approaches that can get me closer to what I am longing for.
I love hearing this TraceyJoy. Thank you. I particularly love hearing that you are able to glean insight and apply it outside of the context of children.

Yes! NVC is not the antidote to humanness, but a gateway to it, through connection.
