< Back The Nurtured Heart Approach® Learning More about the Nurtured Heart Approach The Nurtured Heart Approach® is available worldwide in the form of books, online courses, training workshops, certification training, and seminars offered by certified NHA Trainers. Sign up for our free e-course to learn the first steps to building Inner Wealth. What is the Nurtured Heart Approach®? The Nurtured Heart Approach® is a relationship-focused methodology founded strategically in The 3 Stands™ for helping children (and adults) build their Inner Wealth® and use their intensity in successful ways. It has become a powerful way of awakening the inherent greatness in all children while facilitating parenting and classroom success. The essence of the Approach is a set of core methodologies originally developed for working with the most difficult children. It has a proven impact on every child, including those who are challenged behaviorally, socially, and academically. The Nurtured Heart Approach has been shown to create transformative changes in children diagnosed with ADHD, Oppositional Defiant Disorder, Reactive Attachment Disorder, and other behavioral, emotional, and anxiety-related symptoms – almost always without the need for long-term mental health treatment. Even children experiencing social cognitive challenges, like Autism Spectrum Disorder and Asperger Syndrome, greatly benefit from the Approach, reducing the need for traditional mental health and medical interventions. Traditional approaches often fall short of promoting the Inner Wealth essential for children to build successful relationships. This method has helped thousands of families, educators, and child advocates channel a child’s intensity in beautifully creative and constructive ways – helping children achieve new emotional portfolios of confidence and enduring levels of competency. The Approach is simple and accessible. Using resources like our books, online courses, and certification training, we hope to show you how utterly easy it is to not only improve your situation with a challenging or difficult child but to transform the child through the awareness that their intensity is actually the source of their greatness.
