This will be an overview of The Nurtured Heart Approach, but it will get educators thinking about the power of positivity and the role 'energy' plays in our reactions with others. This is a research-based approach that Howard Glasser, a psychologist, founded as a result of working with very challenging children. A recent study at Arizona State University has found that implementation of NHA was successful with children diagnosed with ADHD. As a result of using the NHA, children were able to get off their medication.
