Meet Howard Glasser, Creator of the Nurtured Heart Approach®, as he introduces you to this globally-acclaimed relationship-based method for building Inner Wealth in all children and helping challenging children use their intensity successfully. In this short film, child-advocates and experts from around the world, share with you the impact that the Approach has had not only in their professional practice, but in their lives. Get a precious first-hand glimpse of children who know the greatness of who they are and how the adults in their lives that have nurtured this truth.

In this talk, Sarah How highlights the significance of rethinking relationships related to the messages children receive daily. As a school psychologist, children's author and adoptive mother, she shares her passion for intentional relationships and illustrates the Nurtured Heart Approach®, created by Howard Glasser, as a method for living more intentionally and helping children grow strong on the inside. She shares stories that highlight the power of adults to give children emotional nutrition over junk food, to be more purposeful about highlighting the truth of a child's character, and to be deliberate in which moments they as the adult become "most alive" for the child. She describes how neither positivity alone nor punishment cause children to awaken to their greatness; rather that transformation -- especially for the most behaviorally challenged - comes for children through deepened relationships and a rejuvenated portfolio of who the child believes themselves to be. With this intentionality, adults have the opportunity and calling to see greatness that is within to everyone in true, irrefutable ways. Sarah How, Psy. S. NCSP is in her 15th academic school year as a Nationally Certified School Psychologist in the West Fargo Public School District. With Masters and Specialist degrees in School Psychology from Minnesota State University --Moorhead, Sarah was also trained by Howard Glasser, the creator of Nurtured Heart Approach® (NHA®). She is now an Advanced Trainer certified to teach this approach worldwide. As an adoptive mother of children from therapeutic foster care, she witnessed the amazing transformational power of the Nurtured Heart Approach® and now speaks, coaches, and trains at local, regional and international levels on NHA® as an intervention for home, classroom, special education utilization, agency, and school-wide culture shifts. Author of the children's book, "Tell Me About Your Greatness!", Sarah brings the language of rich character to help children and educators look at the ordinary as extraordinary in the school day. She and her husband reside in Fargo where they are raising their four beautiful children.

Why the Nurtured Heart Approach? * It is a framework for parenting that works to reclaim a relational energy with our children. With this approach it changes the emotional tone of the family. Also it creates a more cooperative and uplifting family environment. * The Nurtured Heart mindset creates a deep internal security in the family system. It helps everyone in the unit regulate and reset their big swings in emotion to bring everyone together in a more complete way. * Creating and celebrating the success of the children helps them have a full heartfelt ownership of their abilities and gifts. What is the Nurtured Heart Approach? This approach consists of three "Stands": * First, no energy with negativity. Instead of blowing up at a child when they do something wrong, the Nurtured Heart approach seeks to maintain a calm and clear correction. Maintaining a simple and low energy environment around mistakes helps ensure that the child can feel more trust and more connection. * Second, high energy with positive encouragement. Whenever the child does something right, even small steps in the right direction, you can increase engagement and your energy. This helps the child really feel the presence of their own success. In this way, everyone learns that connection and engagement are all centered on positive behaviors and not negative ones. * Third, total clarity about expectation. Just because we praise positive behaviors and give low energy responses to negative behaviors doesn’t mean we can’t be strict. The Nurtured Heart approach requires a consist...

The attachment theory argues that a strong emotional and physical bond to one primary caregiver in our first years of life is critical to our development. If our bonding is strong and we are securely attached, then we feel safe to explore the world. If our bond is weak, we feel insecurely attached. We are afraid to leave or explore a rather scary-looking world. Because we are not sure if we can return. Often we then don't understand our own feelings.

Sing up for a free masterclass here: https://go.mindvalley.com/sprouts-parenting Dealing with Attachment Issues: For those who feel like they can’t help themselves, or can’t find trust through their partners of family, we recommend looking for professional support through a therapy. Here three of therapies that those with such issues may want to look at: 1. Psychoanalysis. The aim of psychoanalysis therapy is to release repressed emotions and experiences, i.e., make the unconscious conscious. In order to do that, the therapist might try to bring back some childhood memories, to work at the root cause of the problem. 2. Cognitive behavior therapy (CBT). CBT is a psycho-social intervention that is widely used for improving mental health. Instead of trying to bring you back in time, it aims to explain to you what's going on inside your brain and how to cope with irrational feelings or fears. It’s the only form of therapy that’s widely recognized in Western countries as being effective. 3. The Hoffmann Process. This 7-8 day's guided process, designed by the American psychologist Hoffmann, brings participants back into their childhood to reconnect with their parents at the time when an attachment is formed. It's very intensive and could potentially be harmful if no proper supervision is being offered the month after.

Met behulp van de "nog steeds geconfronteerd" Experiment, waarin een moeder ontkent haar baby aandacht voor een korte periode, Tronick beschrijft hoe langdurig gebrek aan aandacht van een kind van een goede socialisatie kan bewegen, om periodes van slecht, maar herstelbaar socialisatie.

Toddlers who overhear adults disagreeing can use that emotional information to guide their own behavior, according to research study from the Institute of Learning & Brain Sciences. Learn more about the study here: http://ilabs.washington.edu/i-labs-news/infant-control-thyself This re-enactment of the experiment begins with a warm-up trial as an experimenter shows a toy to a 15-month-old boy and then he gets a chance to play with them. Then a second adult, the "Emoter," enters the room. The experimenter shows her how to play with a toy, a strand of beads that make a rattling sound when dropped into a plastic cup. The Emoter calls these actions "aggravating" and "annoying." When the child has a chance to play with the beads and cup while the Emoter watches with a neutral facial expression, he doesn’t play with the toy. This demonstrates that he’s using the emotional information to regulate his own behavior. The experiment was published in the October/November 2014 issue of the journal Cognitive Development with the title, "Infant, control thyself: Infants' integration of multiple social cues to regulate their imitative behavior."
