Dyslexia Series – From Conflict to Connection (Bell House)
June 17 @ 7:30 pm – 9:00 pm UTC+0
Supporting Neurodivergent Children Through Compassionate Communication
Finding calm, reducing conflict, and building genuine connection with your child can feel out of reach in challenging moments. This introductory talk on Nonviolent Communication (NVC), inspired by Marshall Rosenberg, offers parents a clear, compassionate framework to transform how they understand and respond to behaviour.
In this one-hour session, parents will learn how to move away from patterns of judgement, criticism, and blame towards a more grounded and effective way of communicating. Using the NVC model, we explore how to separate observations from judgemental language that can trigger defensiveness, recognise and express feelings rather than interpretations, uncover the deeper needs beneath those feelings, and shift from demands to clear, actionable requests. Through the lens of the judgemental “jackal” and the compassionate “giraffe,” parents will discover how small changes in language can quickly transform tension into understanding and create moments of genuine connection.
