The Nurtured Heart Approach is an amazing set of
strategies developed specifically for children with ADHD and other challenging behaviors to facilitate
parenting and classroom success. These methods have helped thousands of families to transform their
child from using their intensity in primarily negative ways to using their intensity in beautifully creative
and constructive ways. This approach has also helped teachers and other school personnel to have a
dramatically positive effect on all children.
Most ordinary methods of parenting and teaching inadvertently
backfire when applied to ADHD and other challenging children, despite the best of intentions. Most methods
accidentally reward children by giving far more energy to children when things are going wrong. The
Nurtured Heart Approach is a powerful and quick way to create a new scenario of success. This approach
is fully described in the new book, Transforming the Difficult Child, The Nurtured Heart
Approach.
The Children's Success Foundation has achieved national acclaim for work with children who have been diagnosed
with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Oppositional Defiance Disorder (ODD) and other behaviorally
challenging conditions. The approach has also had excellent results with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, Reactive
Attachment Disorder, Post-Traumatic Stress Syndrome (PTSD) and other abuse, neglect and chaos related syndromes,
as well as with Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS) and Autism.
We have had extraordinary results in helping parents and teachers to quickly succeed in becoming extraordinarily
skillful and effective in helping children to achieve wonderful new levels of competency... almost
always without the need for medications or long-term treatment.
Medications moderate the child's intensity or, in effect, make it go away. The normal view is that the child's
intensity is the problem. The medical community generally reports that ADHD is a genetic and bio-chemical
condition and that the best one can hope for, through a combination of medications and behavior management,
is a modest amount of improvement. The truth is that with the right approach you can turn these
children around to an amazing level of success, despite the propensities of the pre-existing condition.
