Presence and non-violence are the central concepts of the special counseling approach for parents of children with behavioral issues, which Barbara Ollefs introduces in a concise and illustrative manner. Presence - understood in its original sense as "being there" in a child's life - can be lost when children or adolescents exhibit significant behavioral issues such as aggression, oppositional behavior, or severe withdrawal. This often leads to intense conflicts between adults and children or adolescents, escalating to the point where it can trigger feelings of powerlessness, helplessness, and anxiety in parents. Non-violent resistance in parenting describes a path that navigates between escalation and yielding: methods such as announcements, protests, de-escalation, activation of social support, and gestures of connection enable this approach.
