Open-Hearted Decision-Making: NVC and Sociocracy with Children (webinar recording)

This webinar recording on Nonviolent Communication (NVC) and sociocracy with children is from May 14, 2022.

Are you tired of conflicts over chores? Or are you having trouble managing a rowdy classroom? Sociocracy and Non-Violent Communication are complementary systems that support emotional intelligence and collaborative decision-making. These systems provide tools to help parents and teachers work together with children towards mutual understanding, creating healthier and more values-aligned relationships.

During this webinar Gina Simm and Hope Wilder covered the many connections between NVC and sociocracy, including some concrete tools to open up empathy, solve problems, and maximize trust with children.
