Based on Nonviolent Communication, developed by Dr. Marshall Rosenberg, pleasant emotions arise when our needs are met, while unpleasant emotions signal that a need has not been fully satisfied.

For example:

• If your child scatters toys all over the floor, you might feel angry or frustrated because your needs for order and rest are unmet.

• When your partner surprises you for your birthday, you feel happy and touched because your needs for intimacy and love are met.

• If you've made plans with a friend who arrives very late without notice, you might feel furious because your need for respect is unmet.

Each set of Connect & Converse Cards includes 36 Emotion Cards and 60 Needs Cards. Each Emotion Card features an emotion vocabulary word paired with a corresponding visual representation, while each Needs Card lists a specific core need. By using these cards to connect with yourself or others, you can easily identify underlying feelings and needs, leading to more mindful and effective decisions.

Whether used for personal growth, parent-child relationships, marital harmony, or friendships, these cards are designed to facilitate deeper connection and open dialogue!

Bonus Feature: Piece together the backs of the 60 Needs Cards to reveal a beautiful, completed jigsaw puzzle!

Every order of Connect & Converse Cards includes a complimentary online workshop hosted by Myself & My Child. While the cards come with brief instructions, the workshop offers a more detailed explanation and live demonstration.
