Megan is a NVR Parenting Practitioner and works supporting parents, carers and teachers. If you find yourself stressed, constantly managing behaviour, and the most common words you speak are 'no, stop, don't, do' then you are not alone and NVR parenting method could really help. I want you to thrive and feel empowered as parents/carers. NVR is a 'connection before correction' based parenting method, so most 'usual' parenting techniques like rewards and consequences are not part of this method. The great news is it doesn't matter if your children or teens aren't on board, NVR will still work! NVR is empowering and can be a game changer for parents/carers.* NVR stands for Nonviolent resistance. It is an approach that Gandhi and Mandela used during their socio-political movements. It has been developed into a parenting technique by Haim Omer that I believe should be embraced in the whole of parenting, or it can be used simply to focus on ‘challenging behaviour’. NVR consists of 9 pillars that work together and stem out of the main core that we call 'Parental Presence'. NVR is relationship based at its centre. By the parent/carer building strong connection with their child/ren and becoming a firm and secure anchor we see the parent/carer becoming more empowered, positive, safer and stronger in their child/teens life. This produces effective results. Parents and carers use these 9 pillars instead of the 'behaviour management' parenting techniques (i.e. reward and consequence, time out, etc.) NVR works really well with all children/teens, including aggression and violence. NVR is also brilliant in conjunction with attachment theory. We will look at attachment and also understanding brain development during the program or sessions.
