NVC PRACTICE – EXERCISING COMPASIONATE COMMUNICATION

Three families met to share and practice the language of NonViolent Communication learned in the workshop of 7/22/06. Children and parents acted out a conflict scenario and talked about how it could be resolved compassionately using the NVC process. After the role play, children enjoyed the outdoors together with the host family’s dog, Kiwi, and watched a couple of episodes of “Captain Planet and the Planeteers.” The planeteers are young environmental and humanitarian activists, much like Roots & Shoots members. Kiwi also inspired us to consider a future fundraiser – a dog wash!
