I'm unfamiliar with NVC, but I've always held that you are, like you said, responsible for your emotions. I've tried with all my kids to teach them that. "She made me angry!" "No, nobody can make you feel anything, you are in charge of how you feel. What did they do that made you choose to be angry?"

It's good to teach children (and sometimes adults unfortunately) to be responsible for their emotions and explain what happened instead of vague statements like "She made me angry!", but you don't choose your emotions to situations, only how you respond to them.
