Compassionate Communication

An invitation to a two day training event for Wood School families on Compassionate Communication (sometimes known as Non Violent Communication). To be held on Thursday 4th and Friday 5th of January 2018.

Led by trainer Sarah Ludford (http://www.connectwithcompassion.com/) this is a core introductory course for this approach.

Together we will learn the key components of Compassionate Communion. We will share examples of the kinds of behaviour we find challenging in children. We will seek to understand the causes of this behaviour – to see what children are deeply needing when they behave in these ways. We will look at our own patterned responses to this behaviour and see how separating out 'observations', 'feelings' and 'needs', offers a skillful alternative approach. Responding not from ‘right and wrong’ thinking or rewards and punishment, but from an empathetic place that values connection, leading to a more nourishing engagement with the difficulties we face as parents and carers of children.

The cost of the course is £140 per person - which covers the cost of the venue and the trainer.
