5.0 out of 5 starsConnecting parents and children
By naomi on March 29, 2005
Format: Paperback
This book follows the methods described in Marshall Rosenberg's book about non-violent communication. I highly recommend this book for parents even if you have not yet read the Rosenberg book. The book is short (43 pages), yet it clearly describes the application of the non-violent communication technique to communicate, motivate and develop mutually empathic relationship with your child. It is a win-win relatiohship where the feelings and the needs of both the child and the adult are met without the use of the emotional blackmail of shame, guilt, blame or rewards. Inbal Kashtan described the communication method with lots of examples and exercises after each chapter so you can practice and reinforce the method. Incorporating this simple but powerful method of communciation between a child and a parent allows the child to develop self motivation, the ability to express feelings and needs and empthatically connect to self and others even in an emotionally charged environment. Its something we all strive for and special gift that you can give and share with your child.

5.0 out of 5 starsCommunication that creates connection
By Pamela Leo on June 25, 2006
Format: Paperback
Would you count to three if your best friend didn't do what you asked? Ask the parent of any teenager if counting at them still works. In this powerful and practical little book, that every parent has time to read, Inbal Kashtan teaches us "another way" by brilliantly applying the practice of Nonviolent Communication to the everyday parenting struggles that tempt us to resort to coercion.
I recommend Parenting From Your Heart to all parents who are striving to move from parenting through coercion and fear to parenting through love and connection.

4.0 out of 5 starsHelpful, but not the best
By Amazon Customer on April 4, 2008
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
I was excited to read this book after hearing so much talk about nonviolent communication in my local parents group, but I was really dissappointed by some of it.

I think that the book is worth reading, and the exercises are worth reading through, but I don't think this is the ultimate way to communicate.

In the interest of being practical, solutions can be worked out that honor the childs feelings and desires and respect the kid completely, but don't turn into these drawn out episodes, like the nightmare on the slide.

I wish that this book was peppered with a healthy dose of humor, humility and playful parenting and also more practical and adaptive in the situations in which these conflicts would arise.

Not every situation or every child should be treated the same, but the book does provide some good starting points, many of which I believe are better sold in books like "How to talk so your kids will listen", etc.

5.0 out of 5 starsAn excellent parenting resource - don't miss it !!!
By NG in SD on January 24, 2006
Format: Paperback
This little gem is filled with great practical advice and mini-worksheets that help you understand how to apply the ideas offered. I wish I would have had this from the start of my days as a parent.

If you're interested in this one then check out the companion NVC parenting title "Raising Children Compassionately" by Marshall Rosenberg.

1.0 out of 5 starsNot for parents of young children
By Lil' Mrs on February 14, 2016
Format: Paperback
As I start to write this review, I observe my son with a small magnet in his mouth and am thinking that NVC is not exactly the solution here. This book is a total waste of time if you are trying to learn how to improve communication with a young child. The success of NVC seems to rest on the ability of the child to reason, which young children can not. It seems that if you use this method with young children you are actually teaching them that it is okay to argue and not follow the rules. This creates a much more stressful relationship between parent and child when the child is continually allowed to negotiate. Yes, we should consider what is behind a child's response and strive to address it in a nonviolent manner. But, I felt like this book didn't offer any practical advice for accomplishing this with young children. It might work with older children, but the author's target audience seems to be new parents or parents of young children. Definitely do not recommend this book!
