Riviera PlaySchool's Blog at The Center for Non Violent Communication

Riviera PlaySchool is a humanistic, somewhat constructivist,
and mindful preschool inspired by Attachment Parenting, and
based on principles from leaders in child advocacy such as Bev
Bos, Ruth Beaglehole, Alfie Kohn, Daniel Siegel, Joseph Chilton
Pearce, Naomi Aldort, and Marshall Rosenberg. Leaders of
mindfulness and peace, Thick Nhat Hanh and Mahatma Ghandi,
and Jiddu Krishnamurti, who encourages us to 'question
everything,' also inspire our school significantly.

Arriving at a place of parenting from balance is more a journey
of self-discovery than one of learning the "do's and don'ts" from
some self-professed guru. You have the answers you need for
your family. With this in mind, some of the books we recommend
are listed below. What resonates with you? Read more at our
