I want to understand what you really need

In this 192-page book, Frank and Gundi Gaschler show how Non-Violent Communication can be put into practice when living with children: at home, at nursery and at school. It’s about saying what’s bothering you without making accusations, and listening openly, even when the other person raises their voice.

With sensitivity and empathy, you can express yourself sincerely even in difficult situations whilst still treating the other person with respect. In this way, adults and children learn together to make decisions and face the challenges of everyday life.

For parents, nursery staff and teachers, the book offers many practical ideas on how to build a harmonious relationship with children and how to maintain a loving bond even when things get tough. You’ll learn to understand what children are actually trying to express through their behaviour, and how to resolve conflicts in a way that ensures everyone gets what they need.

In addition, there is the ‘Giraffentraum’ project, which helps to put Non-Violent Communication into practice in nursery settings.
