As educational psychologists (EPs), we are often called upon to support children and families experiencing high levels of conflict, control, or withdrawal. In such cases, traditional behavioural strategies may fall short. The Non-Violent Resistance (NVR) parenting approach offers a trauma-informed, relational alternative that prioritises adult presence, emotional regulation, and systemic support. It provides EPs with a thoughtful and ethically grounded framework for supporting families experiencing entrenched difficulties.
