Anca Zlăvog

“I believe presence is the greatest gift we can give our children, and by being truly present, we help them feel seen, understood and supported. There is always hope that we can change relationships based on authority, obedience, punishment and power into relationships based on connection, trust, cooperation and mutual respect.”

Anca Zlăvog is a certified Nonviolent Communication trainer and parent coach. She is the person behind the Părintele prezent (The Present Parent) movement, a community of people who refuse to believe that parenting has to be a survival marathon.

Anca's work is not about parenting strategies, but about the way we relate to ourselves, to children and to the world around us. We achieve this by understanding what lies behind our reactions and why children behave the way they do – what their emotions, needs and unique perspectives are.

Over time, she has seen what the paradigm shift brought first to her relationship with her son, then to her relationship as a couple and, finally, to her work with parents. Since 2019, Anca has been guiding parents and teachers to face challenges with empathy, develop a vocabulary of needs and build relationships based on trust, awareness and mutual respect.
