When we have our consciousness on needs, images come to us, naturally, of how to meet those needs.

Teacher, school administrators and parents will come away from Life-Enriching Education with skills in language, communication, and ways of structuring the learning environment that support the development of autonomy and interdependence in the classroom.

Upset? Ask yourself what this person does that is a trigger for judging them?

We want people to change because they see better ways of meeting their needs at less cost, not because of fear that we're going to punish them, or 'guilt' them if they don't. This applies to ourselves as well.

I never have to worry about another person's response, only how I react to what they say.

People have been trained to criticize, insult, and otherwise communicate in ways that create distance among people.

When people hear needs, it provokes compassion. When people hear diagnoses, it provokes defensiveness and attack.
