Transforming the Difficult Child: The Nurtured Heart Approach

A One-Day Seminar for Therapists, Educators, Parents and other helping professionals teaching an extraordinary approach that has extraordinary results with ADHD and other challenging behavior ... an approach that helps all children to flourish beyond normal expectations.

A child's intensity is a gift that needs to be nurtured. Unfortunately, so many people today find themselves struggling with the intensity of a challenging child and wind up being advised to moderate the intensity by using medications as a first intervention rather than as a very last resort. I've developed an approach that puts parents, teachers and professionals into the driver's seat and gives them the perspective and strategies to shift children into using their intensity in beautiful ways.

Many children wind up on medications simply because there has not been an approach that consistently helps them to use their intensity successfully. Seventy-five percent of all children evaluated for conditions such as ADHD and Oppositional-Defiance Disorder receive medication on the very first visit. The unfortunate underlying message is: your teacher can't control you, your parent can't control you, and you can't control yourself... you need a substance to control whatever is going on inside you. Parents and teachers can end up feeling inadequate and blamed, treatment professionals can sometimes be at a loss as to how best to help, and the result for the child is being at risk for both side effects that can rarely be adequately explained in the course of an evaluation and for greater loss of self than can ever be fully anticipated.

Ordinary methods of parenting and teaching typically backfire with intense children. Despite the best of intentions, the harder adults attempt normal responses, the worse the situation can inadvertently become.

The culprits are the techniques most people have at their disposal... not the parents, teacher, or child. Approaches designed for the average child are not powerful or encompassing enough to have a transformative effect on children with behaviors involving opposition, defiance or inability to manage strong impulses or emotions.

The excellent news is that The Nurtured Heart Approach has proven itself to create the transformation very quickly and in an enduring way. Instead of a child believing that they get a great deal more from adults through negativity and that positive choices are a less certain bet, the child is moved to believing that they can fully invest their energies and intelligence in successes. Join us for this workshop and learn how this powerful approach can work for you.
