Help a Student Communicate When They are Upset (NonViolent Communications)

Have you ever heard of Nonviolent communication (NVC)? It is a communication technique developed by Marshall Rosenberg, rooted in compassion and empathy to improve communication and relationships. I am learning and teaching this, and offer this product as an introduction.

NVC s a four-step process that invites individuals to express themselves honestly, become more literate with emotions and with needs, and to learn to listen with empathy for others.

I've included the 4 steps with examples and 3 lists: Emotions, Needs and Self Soothing skills. I've also included links to gain more information about NVC.

I believe learning this language is a wonderful gift for your self, your family, and of course, for your students. Remember, EVERYTHING we say, matters.
