Enable more harmony, trust, clarity and joy in your relationships

Parenting With Compassion and Family Playshops

About the Parenting Focus Workshops

All relationships can be enhanced with Compassionate Communication, including those within families.  Many parents struggle to find a way of parenting that is neither permissive nor coercive. 

With CC skills you can parent in a way that inspires harmony & connection, power with, rather than power over. Learn new ways of understanding children’s & teen’s behaviour and new ways of responding, allowing mutual trust, respect and co-operation to develop & relationships to flourish.
♥Discover how this simple, learnable communication process known as Compassionate Communication or Nonviolent Communication,  can enable understanding, enliven connections and contribute to more peace and harmony in your life.

♥Explore and learn practical skills to support your parenting in ways that are neither authoritarian nor permissive, where everyone’s needs are valued and respected, and relationships flourish.

♥Learn how to create a quality of connection with yourself and others that will nourish you for a lifetime.

"A very gentle, nourishing process that was good for my soul and for my relationship with myself and my children." VHS- Parent and Parent Educator
"I've learnt to take things a little differently in our challenging moments-to slow down, take stock of both our needs and feelings and find ways to negotiate different strategies to meet the needs."  S Taylor Parent & Yoga Teacher

With so much information available and genuine consideration of parenting from such thinkers as

Alitha Solter - Aware Parenting; Pam Leo, Joseph Chiltern Pearce, Robyn Grille - Parenting for a Peaceful World, and the many others, there is a rich array of ideas for the modern parent.
Regardless of what philosophy, or approach parents follow, as long as connection is important, the trainings provided by "Cultivating Compassion"  enable connections within your belief systems.
