Content:
I'd like to share the works of Inbal Kashtan, Parenting From Your Heart (http://www.naturalchild.org/guest/inbal_kashtan.html).  She is a (Non-violent Communication) NVC trainer and co-founder of BayNVC (http://www.baynvc.org/connected_parenting_cd.php).

"The decision to parent with NVC is grounded in a commitment to nurturing trust and connection within the parent-child relationship. With NVC, parents can experience compassion both toward their children and toward themselves, express themselves with power and care, find strategies for daily living that are more likely to meet everyone's needs, and increase trust that everyone' needs matter even when we do not find strategies to meet everyone's needs."      Inbal Kashtan
