Hello!! I am trying to organize a location for this traveling kid's play(see description below) to come to our area from Israel. I am hoping that some of my parenting contacts can offer up space for them to perform. If you have a meeting place/large space that can hold between 20-200 people, that you would be willing to share/donate, please contact me ASAP 845-609-7305 or bringerofblessings@yahoo.com I am very excited about participating in bringing this to our community, NVC is such a profound and powerful tool for our children. Please feel free to cross-post!!! Much love, Blessing Didi's Magic Keys A wonderful Childrens play based on NVC is coming to the US from Israel for the first time. The play is designed for pre-school/elementary school age children approx ages 3-8. Didi's Magic Keys is the story of a young boy who wants his mothers' attention and gets very angry when she's too busy to play with him. The impatient Didi embarks on an exciting and challenging journey to Magic Land with his friends, Giraffe and Jackal, where he meets a variety of colorful characters who pile obstacles in his way to finding his mother. With the help of his friends, Didi learns the giraffe language or language of the heart. The play teaches young children important skills to support them in working through their emotions and dealing with difficult situations. Highlighted skills include empathy, honesty, taking a breath to calm down, developing patience, and caring for others as well as oneself. Some of the core challenges covered in the play include: working with anger toward a parent, dealing with the consequences of teasing others, connecting with people who seem angry or hostile, and developing patience and empathy in the face of adversity.
