Synopsis
We delight in the many stories we receive about how the Nurtured Heart Approach has contributed to the transformation of a child, a family, a friend, a spouse, a classroom or a school. They are living testimonies that an approach does make a difference - a huge difference, often a life and death difference. We hope these 'Nurtured Heart' success stories move you - stir your excitement, bring you great joy, and inspire you to either transform your own difficult child or greatly appreciate what you have already achieved with the Nurtured Heart Approach.
About the Author
Howard Glasser is the founder of Children s Success Foundation and designer of the Nurtured Heart Approach. He and Jennifer Easley are the co-authors of Transforming the Difficult Child: The Nurtured Heart Approach (1999), currently the top-selling book on the topic of ADHD. He is also the author The Inner Wealth Initiative: The Nurtured Heart Approach for Educators (2007), currently the top-selling book on school interventions. His latest of five published works is All Children Flourishing: Igniting the Greatness of Our Children (2008). Glasser has been a featured guest on CNN and a consultant for 48 Hours. He lectures in the U.S. and internationally, teaching therapists, educator, and parents about the Nurtured Heart Approach, which is now being used in hundreds of thousands of homes and classrooms around the world. He has been a consultant for numerous psychiatric, judicial and educational programs. Although he has done extensive doctoral work in the fields of clinical psychology and educational leadership, he feels his own years as a difficult child contributed the most to his understanding of the needs of challenging children and to the success of his approach. Glasser is former Director and Clinical Supervisor of the Center for the Difficult Child in Tucson, Arizona, where he resides. Jennifer Easley is the co-author of two books with Howard Glasser: Transforming the Difficult Child: The Nurtured Heart Approach (1999), and now this book. Easley s work as a child and family counselor entered into a new path of higher powered healing when she met and trained with Glasser, the originator of the Nurtured Heart Approach. Not only did his approach return her to the field as a counselor who was burned out, it changed her means of helping families, including her own. Much to Easley s surprise, the approach became critical in raising her own challenging child, who was just an infant when the first book was published. Easley has 25 years of experience helping children and their families as a nationally certified Master s-level counselor. She has Washington state licensure as a mental health counselor with both child and elder specialties. Rather than see providing individual therapy for children, Easley now believes in training and empowering parents as the best and most appropriate healers for their children. She provides in-home and phone counseling as well as Nurtured Heart Approach trainings for small groups, local schools and treatment facilities. She recently resumed a part-time counseling practice, with new resolve and intent to share the lessons she has learned since becoming a mother. Easley s recent passion is assisting mothers of Indigos, a newer generation of spiritually aware and sensitive children and young adults. She shares Nurtured Heart tenets as well as a blend of native shamanism, Buddhist and Goddess tradition teachings in her current counseling practice. Easley lives on Vashon Island in Washington with her husband Glenn and son Forest Hart.
