Your Search for Parenting Skills is Over—If you've searched for parenting tips to improve your family dynamics, you are not alone. This powerful, practical booklet offers the unique skills and perspective of Nonviolent Communication (NVC).

Compassionate parenting can help create a mutually respectful, enriching family dynamic filled with clear, heartfelt communication. Raising Children Compassionately is an exceptional resource for parents, parent educators, families and anyone else who works with children.

A parent himself, Marshall Rosenberg has taught NVC to parents, families, children and teachers for more than 40 years. Parents around the world have used his advice to deepen family connections, move past conflicts and improve communication. His revolutionary approach helps parents motivate children to act without the threat of punishment or the promise of reward.
