The Nurtured Heart Approach is a set of strategies that builds richer relationships. It inspires appropriate behaviors by energizing children when things are "going right" and it sets clear limits while understanding the unique dynamics of the challenging child. This training will address ways in which to: Shift a child toward using his/her intensity in successful ways Create a deeper sense of success and inner wealth for the child Build a family/school culture of authentic connection and trust End the punitive cycle that reinforces negative behavior
