In the first episode of this powerful three-part series, host Katy Harris is joined by Penny Ruth Willis, Founder of NVRnorthampton and an expert in Nonviolent Resistance (NVR), to explore how we can support children through separation and challenging behaviours. Together, they discuss the importance of community support — the idea that “it takes a village to raise a child” — and how building a network around parents can make a vital difference.
Katy and Penny also unpack the concept of the ‘Parent’s Promise’, a commitment to keeping children’s needs front and centre during difficult transitions. They delve into the impact of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs), and how early trauma or conflict can shape a child’s behaviour and emotional resilience.
Whether you're a parent, carer, or professional supporting young people, this episode is packed with insights and practical thinking to help you handle separation, co-parenting, and conflict with empathy and strength.
