“I ABSOLUTELY LOVED THIS TRAINING”
Program Description The Nurtured Heart Approach® has been proven to create transformation very quickly and
in inspiring and enduring ways. The child learns to believe and build confidence in the
success that flows from fully investing intensity, intelligence and life force into positive
action. Grounded in three stands: Refuse to give energy to negative behavior; Create
success and positivity; and uphold the limits and consequences, the Nurtured Heart
Approach® is a brilliant way to use language and energy to increase positive and peaceful
relationships at homes, in schools and in communities.
Does an Approach make a difference? YES! Tolson Elementary in Tucson Arizona use to have the highest rate of suspensions in the
district. In 7+ years since using The Nurtured Heart Approach school wide there have been
no suspensions, no referrals to the court system, no referrals for ADHD evaluations and no
new children on medications. That is a Title I school of over 500 students! The need for
special education services is down!
