About Me
“In one of my first classes a cup with lemonade was pushed over. There was only one cup for every child. “She did it” a girl screamed. “No Miss, she did it herself”, the other girl screamed. I explained that it was not important for me to know who did it. What I was worried about is that now, one child would have nothing to drink. Everybody was quiet and all of a sudden, children started pouring some of their lemonade in the cup that was empty.” Cielja Kieft Interview in TheMagicalMadhouse.nl Cielja Kieft has trained parents and teachers in communicating peacefully with children for over 23 years.
