The Nurtured Heart Approach
The Nurtured Heart Approach puts a refreshing spin on both parenting and teaching and reveals new techniques and strategies that create thoroughly positive behaviors. The Approach brings to life a new way of shifting intense children to a solid life of success
Every parent wants to see his or her child succeed. It is our intention to give you the tools with which to develop and maintain a way of parenting that creates tremendous success ... We call these methods The Nurtured Heart Approach
The Inner Wealth Initiative
We know many children personally who quietly live in a realm of inner glory. It's not about accruing external markings of success for their own sake; they possess an inner destination of experiencing life's joy and potential for exploration. The landmarks of success are definitely desired and appreciated, but the prevailing focus is one of being in touch with his or her life force and finding ways of flourishing that are in keeping with his or her true self.
The reason this Approach works so well is that it cultivates something I call inner wealth -- the ability to feel successful, cope, be happy, and grow within ourselves and with other people. Inner wealth is a multifaceted inner experience of our greatness and deeply connected to our feeling that we have meaning -- that we are important just by virtue of being alive.
As teachers and parents charged with sending those messages, the Nurtured Heart Approach gives us tools to consciously and caringly send the ones that are best -- most encouraging, positive, and constructive -- for the children and for the world they will eventually have to negotiate as adults.
Few people are as important to a young person as a teacher. No social environment outside the home is more encompassing and important than school. Children with a wonderful home life may be devastated by school; or the reverse maybe true: school can elevate children above all obstacles.
