What is non-violent communication?

For once, just try to remember an incident when you got into a brawl because you said something you shouldn't have said or just said it in a way that was infuriating for someone.

Well, you know what, you could have avoided all that trouble by just practicing this neat form of communication, which is known as non-violent communication.

Non-violent communication is not something new; it follows the same ideals of non-violence we all know. Non-violent communication is a form or approach of communication that helps you understand your more profound wants and those of others. Dr. Marshall B. Rosenberg created this form of communication.

Why should you teach your kids non-violent communication?

How is non-violent communication important for my kid? You may ask, and I have the answer to that. Every parent wants to teach their kids to respect other people and their sentiments; non-violent communication can play a crucial role in achieving that.

Non-violent communication can be essential in the psychological growth of the child. Non-violent communication can teach a child how to recognize his more profound wants and how he should acknowledge them, it can help a child convey only the things that matter to him, and he wants the other person to hear that.

As non-violent communication teaches children to acknowledge their deeper wants as well as that of others it, helps them empathize with people, which also results in other people being empathetic to them.

Non-violent communication will make your child a good listener, and it will improve their social skills. This form of communication will also teach them to respect other people's opinions.

Non-violent communication can play a significant role in developing a child's overall personality. To sum it all up, I just want to say that you should teach your kids non-violent communication.
