Summary:
"'The Nurtured Heart Approach' gives parents and teachers an absolutely clear understanding of how a challenging child really responds to normal ways of parenting and why traditional methods actually make the situation worse. It also provides a powerful set of strategies designed specifically to turn the challenging child around to a new pattern of success. Using this approach, it is easy to shift the difficult child to being a cooperative child who uses his or her intensity in entirely positive and creative ways. With the right tools, you get to experience the joy of having a therapeutic effect and the joy of watching your child succeed. You get to enjoy the compliments instead of the complaints that so often accompany a difficult child in every area of life"--Page 4 of cover.
