DESCRIPTON

This fun and insightful 76 page booklet illustrates the difference between life-alienating and life-serving language. Using jackal and giraffe drawings, Communication FUNdamentals will guide you through the tools and consciousness of Nonviolent Communication as developed by Marshall Rosenberg. Both children and adults alike love this booklet--a primer to learn healthy and compassionate communication skills.

The Nonviolent Communication process is sometimes called giraffe language, because giraffes have the largest heart of any land mammal, they stick their necks out, and their saliva digests thorns! Shifting from jackal to giraffe requires changing the way we think and communicate. Intention and language are both involved.
