This review is from: Life-Enriching Education: Nonviolent Communication Helps Schools Improve Performance, Reduce Conflict, and Enhance Relationships (Paperback)

The book is clear and has solid ideas on transforming our education from one that teaches children to be dominated by their "superiors" to one that encourages them to find and express themselves powerfully and nonviolently. If all educators would read this book I believe that it would lead to a more peaceful and healthy world.

This review is from: Life-Enriching Education: Nonviolent Communication Helps Schools Improve Performance, Reduce Conflict, and Enhance Relationships (Paperback)

This book is not only easy to read, it is even easier to apply in the classroom. I purchased this book when I was working on my graduate degree in Education. My focus is in dealing with At-risk students. I have since recomended it to any and all teachers that I know and new teachers that I teach. It really is amazing how and adjustment in the words we use daily changes the environment around us. As a single parent of teens, I can also say that it works at home too and with slight adjustments, success is quick and painless. I now have peace in the classroom and at home.
