At Calm Together, we embrace Non-Violent Resistance (NVR) as a calm parenting approach designed to help parents and caregivers address challenging behaviours in children and adolescents. Rooted in principles of non-violence and collaboration, NVR focuses on de-escalation, relationship building, and restoring parental authority through calm and consistent strategies. It empowers parents to break cycles of conflict, reduce stress, and improve family dynamics without resorting to aggression or punishment.

Benefits of NVR for Families

NVR brings numerous benefits to families, including:

• Enhanced Parental Authority: Strengthens parental presence and influence, enabling parents to manage disruptive behaviours more effectively.
• Improved Relationships: Fosters closer, more positive relationships between parents and children, enhancing mutual respect and understanding.
• Reduced Conflict: Provides tools for de-escalating conflicts and managing stress, leading to a more peaceful home environment.
• Increased Resilience: Helps families build resilience and coping skills, allowing them to navigate challenges with greater confidence and calm.

Our Unique Approach

As an experienced NVR practitioner, a parent with lived experience, and a family therapist, I bring a unique blend of expertise in trauma-informed care, Polyvagal Theory, and neuro-de-escalation techniques to help families navigate and resolve conflicts.

My approach is rooted in understanding the complexities of trauma and its impact on the nervous system. By applying Polyvagal Theory, I help families achieve a state of calm and connection, fostering resilience and positive relationships. Through neuro-de-escalation strategies, I guide parents and children in managing stress responses, promoting peaceful interactions and a supportive home environment.

Join us at Calm Together and experience a transformative journey towards family tranquillity and mutual respect. Let’s work together to create a peaceful and harmonious home.
