“The extraordinary language of Nonviolent Communication is changing how parents relate to children, teachers to students, and how we all related to each other and even to ourselves. It is precise, disciplined, and enormously compassionate. Most important, once we study NVC we can't ignore the potential for transformation that lies in any difficult relationship - if we only bother to communicate with skill and empathy.” IfsChildrenImportantLyingLanguageParentDifficultStudyTeacherStudentsCommunicationSkillsEmpathyTransformationExtraordinaryCommunicateRelateBotherRelatedCompassionatePreciseNonviolent CommunicationTeacher StudentDifficult Relationship Author:Bernie Glassman

“Sometimes you come to a fall and sometimes you come to white water. Your rowing has to adapt to the situation. You can't do the same stroke coming down a small stream as you would coming down Niagara Falls. Even if you're only rowing down a stream, different things happen: maybe the wind changes, maybe the current, and suddenly everything's different. So gently is really important. Don't power yourself or blast through; rock with the way things are.” IfsWayImportantDifferentSometimesHappensFallWaterWhiteSituationRocksWindCurrentsThings HappenStreamsDifferent ThingsStrokesBlastRowingNiagaraNiagara FallsWhite Water Author:Bernie Glassman
