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?"

Answers to these questions can be found by contacting any advanced nurtured heart trainer.
