Course Description:
The Nurtured Heart Approach® (NHA) is more than just a parenting or educator behavior management strategy. It is a philosophy for creating healthy relationships with the people in your life. Originally created by Howard Glasser in 1992, NHA is being successfully implemented through families, classrooms, foster care, health care professionals, social workers and criminal justice organizations that are seeking successful, early intervention techniques. NHA consists of a set of strategies that assists children in further developing their self-regulation and has been found effective with children of all ages. It focuses on transforming the way children perceive themselves, parents, teachers, therapists and the world around them. In Nurtured Heart Approach® thinking, we believe intensity is a powerful quality that, if developed correctly, can propel children onto amazing achievements. When a child learns to feel great about their intensity, the incidents of challenging behavior dissolve. Though the approach was designed for the “intense child”, it is best delivered on all children. This workshop is casual and comfortable loaded with authenticity and humor. The 6 hour training will involve participants with powerful experiential activities. It will surely transform your relationship with children you care for at work and home.
