NVC Schools: Is this a thing, or a movement?
Submitted by BayNVC collaborative trainer, Jared Finkelstein, and the NVC Educators Institute team

Marshall Rosenberg began talking about “NVC schools” (aka “giraffe schools”) many years ago, and ever since, people have been asking us, “So, where ARE these NVC schools?”

We pause for a deep breath.

Because, honestly, we don’t know. We don’t know of any such thing as an “NVC school.”

Sometimes we mutter to each other, “Marshall shoulda known better,” and revisit our
wish that he had never used this label. Remember what he taught us about labels: Labels
“kill”—in that they are static, mind-created things. Labels obscure reality—which is not a
static thing but an ever-changing movement of life.

"Two questions help us see why we are unlikely to get what we want by using punishment ... The first question is: What do I want this person to do that is different from what he or she is currently doing? If we ask only this question, punishment may seem effective because the threat or exercise of punitive force may very well influence the person’s behavior. However, with the second question, it becomes evident that punishment isn't likely to work: What do I want this person's reasons to be for doing what I am asking?"
~Marshall Rosenberg
 
 
 "Punishment also includes judgmental labeling and the withholding of privileges."
~Marshall Rosenberg
