ONLINE: The Compassionate Parenting Course – 6-week, MORNING (Fridays)

When it comes to getting out of the door, bedtimes, sharing toys and household chores, all our good intentions as parents can go out of the window. How do we stay present and grounded with our children, even when the pressure is on?

About this course

• Introduces you to the steps of the Nonviolent Communication (NVC) process for listening to your child, connecting with yourself, and self-expression.
• Gives you sufficient information and practice to start using NVC in your family life.
• Is run in an experiential style working with examples from participants’ own lives.
• Is a recognised stepping stone to further NVC training. Once you have attended this course you will be eligible to attend our Level Two/Intermediate courses.
