WHAT PEOPLE SAY
Educator, ODCS
"This introduction to the Nurtured Heart Approach was amazing—I honestly can’t believe it was just an introduction! It was powerful. I walked away feeling equipped and ready to handle my students’ intense behaviors in a new way. For the first time, I really see how I’ve been unintentionally feeding intense behaviors and even rewarding them. Now I feel like I have the tools to shift things in a positive direction."
JS, Mother of Special Needs Child
Wow! There is a different way of doing things. We can actually correct our children and redirect the behavior without physical punishment. Now I know how to establish rules and consequences that will steer my child in the correct direction.
Amanda, Parent
NHA is a methodology - The 3 Stands. This workshop provided clear ways to apply the tips and information . It was encouraging learning the approach and that there is no one to blame.
- Parent
This has been an enlightening workshop for me! I learned that NHA is about bringing transformation through relationships.
- Parent
This workshop provided relatable examples. The videos were also impactful - really eye opening. This is a new approach to parenting that I've never herd before! I feel encouraged.
Social Worker
I now see that ignoring negative behaviors is actually counterproductive—it doesn’t help the child return to a calmer state. This workshop opened my eyes and helped me understand that many of the old techniques we’ve used with children don’t work. In fact, they often make the behaviors worse.
