The Nurtured Heart Approach in the educational setting

In ADHD therapy, we look for approaches that work well for parents as well as educators.  In this u-tube, Howard Glasser talks about the Nurtured Heart Approach in schools.  It is better to have this approach in the whole school, rather than trying to have it one grade and then have an entirely different approach in the next grade.  That tends to be too confusing for the children and less effective.

 

"Children need good words and when provided with good words, they will be provided with positive emotional energy and their inner wealth is established and they will flourish. Good words are generously spoken and they are positive in respect to their daily moment of living, providing nourishing guidance which sets the stage to be ready to learn.

How can we set the stage? How can we provide positive emotional energy? How can we speak good words and how do we choose the words to speak? How can the good words provide inner wealth and how can this action created by teachers, parents, school administrators have an effect on tardiness? bullying? procrastination? depression? sense of self-worth?"

"When you really stop and pay attention to them (your children), you send the message that you care about what is being said, they are important, and you empower your child."

The Nurtured Heart Approach started by Howie Glasser is a way to channel the child's energy from bad to good behavior.  In the ADHD therapy website, we look at this approach and some others. Look at this video on u-tube to see how the Nurtured Heart Approach is done in the schools.

 

Gathering Day and Final Vows

That was history of days gone by. Now, I would like to write about history in the making. St. Clare's feast day is August 11. St. Clare was the first female Franciscan. She was an attentive listener and follower of St. Francis. She felt a call by God to join the Franciscan followers of St. Francis, although, all of them were men at that time. She took the leap in faith and joined them. Although, she could not live with them, she herself soon had followers. The friars gave them San Damiano Convent where the Poor Clares still live.

Traditionally, in our congregation, we have made our vows on the feast of St. Clare. This Saturday, August 7, as many of our Sisters who could, gathered together at our motherhouse to witness the temporary vows of Sister Rosemary Eve Holter, to participate in a program led by the Marist brother Michael Laratonda, and to share and catch up with one another.

Sister Rosemary Holter renewed her vows for one year

This is a representation of the Blessed Trinity.  The light in the center is a
representation of each one of us.  Brother Michael Laratonda, a Marist brother,
offered us many poems and images for our reflection on gathering day.

It was a wonderful time to celebrate the professions of Sister Rosemary Holter
and Sister Patty Kerezi, and to share, and reunite with old friends.
