Introduction
Gentle Teaching is a non-violent approach for helping people with special needs and sometimes challenging behaviours.
It focuses on four primary goals of care-giving:
teaching the person to feel safe with the care giver
teaching the person to feel engaged with the care giver
teaching the person to feel unconditionally loved by the care giver
teaching the person to feel loving towards the care giver
