What is yellow rocking?

Yellow rocking is a communication strategy for dealing with narcissists, particularly in co-parenting situations where you cannot go no-contact. It is a more polite, cooperative, and courteous style of the “grey rock” method. The key difference is that yellow rocking uses a friendly yet distant tone, while still maintaining firm boundaries, in order to protect yourself. The aim is to avoid being drawn into conflict with the counter parent, while also presenting yourself in a reasonable and positive light.
