How do I address an older student who seems angry and refuses to participate in class projects?

Community Answer

If this kid is having issues, then you approach them in a gentle, yet firm way. Ask the student if he or she would like to discuss if he/she is having a hard time with school or at home. Show him/her that you care and that you are willing to listen.

Question

My husband does not always like to hear my opinion and thinks I am arguing. I am just sharing my thoughts without meaning any harm. He gets so angry with me. What do I do?

Community Answer

Before you start the conversation, tell him that you would like to share how you feel with him. If he just can't stand listening to you express your feelings, than he might not be the right guy. In a relationship, communication is key. If you feel like you can't express your feelings, that is not good. Try asking him specifically what bothers him about the way you share your opinions. Couples counseling might also be a good option to help you guys get through this.

Question

How do I deal with a boss that often uses NVC for his benefit?

Community Answer

That's the whole point of NVC: to connect and communicate positively in the relationships in your life. You could try using it yourself.
