At the moment when you can get people to talk about what they want, rather than what is wrong with the other person, you immediately see an opportunity for the beginning of a solution. Marshall Rosenberg. In appreciative communication, empathy, compassion, and mutual recognition are encouraged in interactions. This first part of the Empathy School includes a guide for implementing appreciative communication in kindergarten routines, featuring a variety of games, stories, and information for educators, parents, and teachers. The magic of appreciative communication is the ability to put oneself in another's shoes and engage in a process of mutual recognition. It is verbally-reflexively supported by Marshall B. Rosenberg's Four-Step Model. In this process, we do not judge.
