NVR

Service Description

Non-Violent Resistance is a practical therapeutic approach to managing challenging behaviour in children and teens—without shouting, punishment, or confrontation. Instead of responding with anger or strict discipline, it focuses on staying calm, consistent, and supportive. NVR can be especially helpful when traditional discipline doesn’t work or seems to make things worse. It’s designed for situations like: aggressive outbursts – hitting, shouting, or other aggressive behaviour defiance – constant power struggles and refusal to follow rules destructive actions – damaging belongings as a way of expressing frustration frequent meltdowns – emotional outbursts that are hard to handle lying – repeated dishonesty that strains trust manipulative behaviour – using guilt or other tactics to control situations risky behaviour – unsafe choices like substance use or dangerous activities school struggles – refusing to attend school or complete work threats of self-harm or running away – used as a coping or controlling mechanism during conflict withdrawing – avoiding family or becoming isolated If any of this sounds familiar, you’re not alone. Many parents face similar challenges, and it’s okay to ask for support. NVR helps you set clear boundaries while building trust and respect with your child. It’s not just about reducing tricky behaviours; it’s about strengthening your relationship, so you both feel more secure.
