Publisher's Synopsis
Based on the ideas of Nonviolent Communication by Marshall Rosenberg, Growing Up In Trust looks at the impact of reward and punishment on children and on the relationship between the children and their parents, teachers and other grown-ups around them. The way we bring up our children leads to disinterest, shame and fear, and competition. There is an alternative method, and it is based on trust. Children already have an inborn morality and a longing to please and to learn. This can grow if we give an example in being social and authentic. It is not about letting children take over. It is about taking care of ourselves, allowing us the energy to be clear about what we want. Growing up in Trust is about a world beyond right and wrong. Justine Mol is an internationally certified trainer in Nonviolent Communication according to Marshall Rosenberg. She lives in the Netherlands.
