Does every child have the capacity to get significantly better at managing their emotions?
Is your child behaving aggressively?
Is your child pushing all your red buttons?
Are you feeling afraid and disempowered?
Are you getting sucked into spirals of escalation?
At ‘learn NVR’, we deliver proven techniques to stay calm and respond to your child’s provocations in ways that benefit you and your child.
Our secret? Non-Violent Resistance
We do this by using Non-Violent Resistance (NVR), founded by Professor Haim Omer. NVR is internationally recognised as a highly successful approach, designed to help parents and caregivers reduce challenging behaviours in children. NVR is rooted in the principles of non-violence, originally inspired by Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr., and adapted by Haim Omer for parenting situations
Our parenting course will enable you to:
Develop a loving relationship with your child
Regain your authority and effectively set limits
De-escalate situations and avoid power struggles
Create a supportive network around yourself and your child
Core principles of NVR
Non-Violence as a philosophy
NVR encourages parents to resist harmful behaviours in non-harmful ways.
De-escalation
NVR helps parents to interrupt the cycle of conflict and aggression.
Strengthening parental presence
NVR helps parents bolster their presence and demonstrate authority through calm, clear boundaries rather than fear or control.
Support network
NVR uses a supportive network, including extended family, friends, and community members to reinforce the child’s feeling that the caregivers are not alone, and that they (the child) also belong.
Reconciliation and repair
NVR seeks to maintain and repair the parent child relationship. Restoring trust and connection is essential in bringing about change.
Our experts
Professor Haim Omer
Haim Omer is the founder of NVR. Some years before he developed the approach, he learned through his own experiences the power of parental presence. In his work with families in the 1990s he found that when he told parents about this presence and what it means, they became more present right there and then in the room. Listen to this trailer of Haim explaining this experience.
Mr Avremi Rosenberg
Avremi Rosenberg is a trainer and coach with expertise in ADHD, autism, and complex behaviours. Originally trained as a counsellor, he and his family became foster carers, where he identified a significant gap in the support and know-how available to regular parents managing children with complex behaviours. It was during this time that he discovered the NVR approach. In 2023, Avremi co-founded learnNVR with Prof. Haim Omer to deliver cutting-edge, research-based interventions to the Chareidi kehilla. In this trailer, Avremi shares how he discovered NVR through his experience as a foster carer.
Dr Peter Jakob
With a background in social work, Dr Peter Jakob has worked as Consultant Clinical Psychologist and Family Therapist in both CAMHS and Adult Mental Health for over 40 years, specialising in children and families involved with child protection, trauma or other difficulties such as neurodivergence. Peter introduced Nonviolent Resistance therapy and practice (NVR) to the UK. Listen to this trailer of Peter speaking about the need that led him to bring NVR to the UK.

Testimonials
What we were most impressed about was how Avremi’s work was able to lead to our son being medicated. Avremi works collaboratively with very highly respected psychiatrists and is able to prepare our case so that it can be dealt with in a swift, professional and timely manner. Dealing with a psychiatrist can be daunting and it can be difficult to know if we have communicated our problem to the psychiatrist sufficiently, and for us to know that we have properly understood the diagnosis and treatment plan. Avremi has filled this gap. We felt confident that our son’s presentation was properly relayed, and that the diagnosis was properly relayed back to us.
