"Regardless of our many differences, we all have the same needs. What differs is the strategy for fulfilling those needs." Marshall Rosenberg |
Nonviolent Communication and Raising Teenagers |
In this article we look at the connection between Nonviolent Communication (NVC) and the important and sometimes challenging task of raising teenagers. NVC is a process that focuses on creating a high quality of connection through empathy and honesty. When we are connected, good-will is easier to access, and mutually satisfying outcomes are more readily attainable. NVC gives you the
best tools for communicating effectively with your teen. However, NVC is not a magic wand! NVC is a set of powerful tools — and there is a difference between having tools and being skillful with them! Even if the best time to begin developing your skills was before your child was born, the second-best time is now! Set your intention to develop these skills, and let’s look next at some principles that will guide you in creating a caring and
satisfying connection with your teen. Read More
How NVC Can Change Your Relationship by Sanjana Gupta
Nonviolent communication is a communication strategy that focuses on honestly expressing your deepest feelings and needs to someone, and being able to empathetically listen to theirs. This form of communication was developed by a clinical psychologist named Marshall Rosenberg in the 1960s to address inner-city violence in his hometown of Detroit, though it can be helpful to use in every type of relationship, romantic relationships in
particular...
Nonviolent communication based mediation: Practice insight by Daniella Arieli
The goal of NVC is to establish genuine connections between people, including opponents, based on the assumption that – when sincere communication between rival parties has been established – the dispute will be transformed. The core principle of NVC is focusing on both parties' humanity and needs, instead of their opinions or interpretation of the situation. Maslow identified the essentiality of the satisfaction of
basic needs, and grouped basic ones under five hierarchical headings: Physiological; safety; belonging/love; esteem and self-actualization. Sites further developed this concept, defining eight needs that must be met in order to produce nondeviant, nonviolent individual behavior. Later developments tend to define a broad range of needs – neither hierarchal nor mutually exclusive – that support each other. Several scholars argue that unrecognized, nonnegotiable needs are the root of most
intractable conflicts... |

It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it. —Aristotle
Empathy Doesn't Mean Agreement Sometimes, people tell me that they can’t empathize with someone because they don’t agree with them. An example could be a teenager who tells her parents that they don’t care about her. Or a friend who tells you that you were late, even though you thought you were right on time. Remember that empathy is about being present to a person’s feelings and needs. It is acknowledging another’s
experience, not necessarily agreeing with it. If you have a different opinion than the other, empathize with her first. Then, state your feelings and needs with regard to the situation. For example, if your teenager tells you that you don’t care about her, you might consider saying, “Are you feeling hurt because you want to know that I care as much about your needs as mine?” Once you’ve heard her out, you could say, “Wow, I’m really surprised and sad to hear this because I love you so much, and
I sometimes lose myself because I’m so focused on helping you. Will you tell me what you heard just now from me?” Remind yourself today that empathizing with someone does not constitute agreement. |
