We have recently finished our Non-violent resistance parenting group. It ran for 8 weeks providing parents with strategies for supporting and managing challenging behaviours at home. The course was run by Emma Moore our School Home Support and Pastoral Manager, with Sam Waring (Assistant Headteacher) supporting.
Non-Violent Resistance (NVR) is a parenting approach that focuses on peaceful and assertive strategies to address challenging behaviours in children. The core idea is about teaching children boundaries, respect, and accountability, all while ensuring that the parent-child relationship remains strong and positive.
The course was very well received with some amazing feedback, shown below.
‘Before the course, I sometimes felt I had little say in my child’s actions. Even when I’m not physically around, increasing my presence was a real eye-opener. By consistently encouraging positive behaviours and sharing clear expectations, I’ve noticed my child is much more open to chats. The whole “connection before correction” idea has transformed how we interact, making our conversations more productive.’
‘I enjoyed it as you can see you aren’t the only ones living in certain situations. It might be tough to deal with but with the way the facilitator presented it, it is a battle you can win.’
