Transforming Intense Souls for a Brighter World
Embark on a transformative journey with the Nurtured Heart Approach® (NHA), designed to nurture intense souls and transform how families experience their world. Developed by Howard Glasser in 1992, NHA is a therapeutic method that transcends traditional behavior management. Create a positive portfolio of Inner Wealth™ by choosing what to energize and inspiring healthy behaviors through recognition and acknowledgment.
Harnessing the
Power of Intensity
Intensity is not a problem to be solved; it is a gift to be harnessed for beautiful, purposeful expressions. The Nurtured Heart Approach teaches both children and adults to redirect the vibrant energy of intense feelings into constructive channels, fostering growth and transformation. Through a simple and profound framework, NHA ensures that every child feels genuinely seen, heard, and valued, guiding them to make respectful, self-regulated choices.
The 3 Stands™: Foundations for Transformation
Central to the NHA are the 3 Stands™—principles that, when adopted, become powerful tools for enriching relationships and fostering greatness. This methodology reframes the notion of misbehavior as a mere misuse of intensity, unlocking the potential for children to achieve extraordinary accomplishments. Create a strong foundation to feel great parenting!
Awaken the
Greatness Within
NHA has the power to awaken inherent greatness in every person. By consistently recognizing and amplifying their inner strengths, children develop an intrinsic orientation toward their true selves, guided by an inner GPS towards living their highest potential.
