What is the Nurtured Heart Approach?

The Nurtured Heart Approach provides parents with an understanding of how a challenging child needs to be parented differently. It provides a road map with strategies to help the child develop a pattern of success. Parents learn how to assist their child in harnessing their intensity in a positive manner. In essence it is a positive and empowering way to help kids and adults build self-esteem and improve behavior. Nurtured Heart focuses on highlighting strengths and giving praise, rather than focusing on problems or negative behaviors.

What You’ll Do with the Nurtured Heart Approach:

  • Highlight Strengths: Instead of focusing on what’s going wrong, we focus on what’s going right. By recognizing and praising positive actions, people feel valued and motivated.
  • Set Clear Expectations: We make sure everyone knows what’s expected and why it matters. This clarity helps people understand what behaviors are important and what happens when they follow or don’t follow them.
  • Give Positive Feedback: We regularly celebrate successes and good behavior, which helps build confidence and encourages more of the same.
  • Maintain Boundaries: While we emphasize positivity, we also keep clear and consistent boundaries to create a structured environment where people can thrive.

Why the Nurtured Heart Approach is Great:

This approach is awesome because it shifts the focus from problems to strengths. It helps build self-esteem, reduces behavior issues, and strengthens relationships by making people feel appreciated and capable. It’s all about creating a positive, supportive environment that encourages growth and success.
