Presenting a talk on 'NVC and Parenting'

I have been asked at the last minute by my colleague Sarah Bird to step in and give a one hour talk on NVC and Parenting at the Attachment Parenting International (API) Conference on Friday May 19th 2006. The conference runs from 19-21st May 2006 at the Glenroyal Conference Centre, Maynooth.

From their website

The mission of Attachment Parenting International (API) is to promote parenting practices that create strong, healthy emotional bonds between children and their parents. These practices nurture and fulfill a child's need for trust, empathy, and affection, providing a lifelong foundation for healthy, enduring relationships.
Through education, support, advocacy and research, API seeks to strengthen families and increase awareness of the importance of secure attachment, ultimately helping to reduce or prevent child abuse, behavioral disorders, criminal acts and other serious social problems.

I am both excited and anxious about sharing my experiences of using Nonviolent Communication with my wife and 2-year old daughter Niamh (whom you can see a photo of in my profile opposite).
