When they aren\u2019t met or we think they won\u2019t be met, discomfort arises within us. This discomfort can either lead to conflict and harm toward ourselves or toward others, or it can lead to renewed connection. Heart Talk is a path to connection.<\/p><p>Compassionate Communication or \u201cHeart Talk\u201d is a teachable process that can provide the foundation for all interactions within your home. In every moment, it helps you remain in the present moment and be the loving parent you would like to be, and teaches the skills your child needs to be successful, both at home and at school. Heart Talk provides an avenue to connect in honest and trusting ways with ourselves, with our family members, and with our friends and co-workers.<\/p><p>Heart Talk involves no coercion. We define coercion as psychological, emotional, and\/or physical force or manipulation that brings about change in our own or someone else's behavior through shame, guilt, a fear of punishment, a sense of duty or obligation, a hope for a reward, or out of the belief that we must first deserve or earn love\/respect in order to receive it. Coercive change comes with a high cost. The self-esteem of each person involved is typically damaged in the process.<\/p><p>Yet, Heart Talk IS ultimately about changing behaviors in ourselves and in others when our behaviors or theirs are not aligned with our shared values and agreements. It is change that comes from a different energy than we have been taught and trained to use. Interactions guided by Heart Talk are not outcome driven yet increase the likelihood that an outcome that everyone enjoys will be reached. Change is not the goal of these interactions. Understanding is the goal. Change is the benefit of having achieved the quality of understanding and connection that Heart Talk makes possible.<\/p><p><strong>The outcome:<\/strong> When we achieve this quality of understanding and connection, our children are much more willing \u2013 and even eager and happy \u2013 to try anything we ask of them, trusting we are as interested in meeting their needs \u00a0as we are in meeting our own. It is then that they can contentedly release their wants in the moment and consider other's needs and perspectives.<\/p>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"panel\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"panel-heading\" role=\"tab\" id=\"acc-heading-accordion-e8b6bb7e9a177c489a6da34a573ad2d7-2\">\n\t\t\t\t<h5 class=\"panel-title\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"collapsed\" data-toggle=\"collapse\" data-parent=\"#accordion-e8b6bb7e9a177c489a6da34a573ad2d7\" href=\"#acc-tab-accordion-e8b6bb7e9a177c489a6da34a573ad2d7-2\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"acc-tab-accordion-e8b6bb7e9a177c489a6da34a573ad2d7-2\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t Workshops for Parents -
