When a child resists school or another challenge, it's easy for parents to get caught in frustration, urgency, and fixed solutions. In this conversation, Lisa Rothman, Miki Kashtan, and Arnina Kashtan demonstrate how self-empathy, acknowledging a child's experience, and inviting collaboration can transform conflict into a shared problem-solving process. They explore practical NVC principles that build trust, honor a child's individuality, and create a family environment where everyone has a place to be fully themselves.
