Nurtured Heart Approach

What is the Nurtured Heart Approach?

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 an challenging or difficult child, but to transform the child through the awareness that their intensity is actually the source of their greatness.

“The Nurtured Heart Approach gives a parent a different set of glasses with which to view their children – to look for their greatness, however small, in any situation, and to bring it to the child’s attention so that they bask in the warmth of the parent’s compliments on a continual basis. Negative behavior is given minimal energy so that the child is basically unplugged from the parent’s energy when they misbehave, and as soon as they correct themselves they are showered with compliments again. The NHA refocuses a parent’s perception of their children to look for their greatness and energize it, which has a roll-on effect on the whole family. Yael is spilling over with enthusiasm regarding this approach and brings helpful examples and animated discussions into her workshops.”
