Injustice:  The Film The Police Tried to Ban

10/16/2020

0 Comments

 
Picture
The documentary Injustice chronicles the fight for justice of seven families whose members died in police custody, or in encounters with the police. None of the police officers involved in these killings have been prosecuted or disciplined. Six of the families are Black (African Caribbean), the seventh is Irish.

I was privileged to interview the director, Ken Fero, recently.  In addition to Injustice, we talked about his new film, Ultraviolence.

I am listing below some of my blog posts about Affirmations for Parents, as well as other blogs I find on the internet to do with affirmations and parenting.  Please come back, as I will be adding more. 

Please share this with your networks and please leave your comments on my blog posts.  Thanks. 

Go here for a short film about parenting with Nonviolent Communication (NVC). 

Go here for more NVC resources. 

Parenting Blogs

Parents (and others) often need positive, affirming statements to help us to navigate our way through life. So do children.  The words, thoughts, feelings and emotions that reside in our consciousness – our conscious and unconscious minds - determine how well we perform in the world, how we communicate with others, and how we feel about ourselves. 

Affirmations for Parents provides affirmations - statements that can help us to build the mental states that give parents the self-esteem and confidence to be able to communicate with their children in the way they want to.

Nonviolent Communication (NVC) is a language that helps us to connect from the heart. It can teach us to honour both ourselves and those we communicate with – including children – by connecting with feelings and needs. 

Here are some parenting blogs.  I shall be adding more.

Help for Frustrated, Stressed Parents 
Affirmations for Parents Update

25 Confidence-Boosting Affirmations for Your Child
How Positive Afffirmations Change My Mindset on Really Hard Mom Days

Encouraging Children

The words we use can give or withhold encouragement. The more our children hear encouraging words, thoughts and ideas, the more likely they are to do well in life and have the confidence to achieve their goals.

The more you, as a parent, feel confidence within yourself, the more you will be able to help your child/ren to develop conficence and self-esteem. 


NVC defines empathy as connecting with feelings and needs.  The more empathy we have for ourselves, the more we can offer empathy to others. 

Please share this with your networks.  Thanks.

How Can We Create a Peaceful World?

Go here to listen to my recent broadcast, "How Can We Create a Peaceful World?". 

In a week in which we are still raw from watching the killing of George Lloyd on TV, and we are still mourning the killing of Breonna Taylor - both by the police - we asked the question, "How Can We Create a Peaceful World?". 

Go here to listen to the broadcast. 

This episode also includes my interview with Carthenia Jefferson, a member of Black Women for Positive Change, who hold the annual Week of Nonviolence.

Many people in the U.S. are not aware that we also have a problem with Black deaths in police custody here in the UK, but we clearly do.


Plus Naimah Latif from "The Female Solution" is organising a Global Peace Summit for the end of August.  Listen to the broadcast for details.

Empathy and Social Distancing

4/10/2020

0 Comments

 

Empathy is at the heart of Nonviolent Communication (NVC) and at this time, when we have so many stresses, pressures and anxieties around the coronavirus (covid-19), we all need more empathy - for ourselves and for others.  

Anxieties can quickly escalate into anger and conflict. 

If you have been shouted at, or been angry with others, around the self-distancing guidelines, check this out.  Go here to read the article and to watch the video.   

Go here for more videos about using empathy during the pandemic.

Six-Year-Old Girl Arrested

3/2/2020

0 Comments

 
A six-year-old girl was arrested and taken out of the classroom in handcuffs.  Sista Vicky Dillard of Fly Nubian Queen made us aware of this. 

Now, you may be wondering, what could a six-year-old do that would warrant her being arrested and led out in handcuffs?   I'll be saying more about this. 

Go here for more.  

I am not going to say much more about this.  I am not going to use terms like "outrage", because we already know this is an outrage. 

This still upsets me when I think about it.  But I prefer to focus on solutions, like Nonviolent Communication (NVC).

Go here for more from the Blogging Carnival for Nonviolence 2020.
