This is a collection of Nurtured Heart Approach success letters that have been collected over the years into this volume. Many of these letters are dramatic depictions of an initially unimaginably difficult child being transformed into a wonderful child now using her or her intensity well. The stories are used to teach and to further illuminate the three aspects of this approach to helping children. The author's commentaries after each story are intended to underscore both the healing components of each situation and to applaud the inspiration that comes through with each of these great triumphs.

Review
The book is filled with stories that pinpoint life-changing turning points. These are stories that will enlarge your vision, encourage your heart and entreat your soul to join in the sacred mission of igniting a child s greatness. The Nurtured Heart Approach opens the eyes of our own hearts and teaches us to use our energy with awakened consciousness and for a higher purpose. It is designed to help us demonstrate to the child over and over and over again that the answer to all worthwhile questions is I AM instead of I am not. Recall the age-old trick we adults use like second nature in matters of less importance, such as teaching a child to swim. There's that moment when the child says, Don t let go of me! I can't swim without your hand under me. To which the parent, who had removed his hand some moments prior, says, Son, you ve been swimming on your own already. And the child internalizes: I can swim. I am swimming. I swam. I AM a swimmer. But to use that trick to pull a child into his or her greatness by reflecting the irrefutable makings of strong character, high values and unique gifts this is the beckoning of the Nurtured Heart Approach. It calls us to walk the parental path far beyond birthing a child's physical body, empowering us to continue in the co-creative call to raise a child to his or her brightest and highest expression of self. It is never too late for an adult to decide to join in on the miraculous adventure of becoming the angel who reflects a child s first glimpse and glory of greatness. So, here s to the transformational power of the stories in these pages! --Susan McLeod, Founding Publisher, EnergyParenting.Com

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.

Absolutely Stunning!,

This review is from: Transforming The Difficult Child: True Stories of Triumph (Perfect Paperback)
This book is a fabulous, touching and powerful read. The author's remarks make every story really special and extra significant, it gives the added Greatness boost to each moment of reading! I can imagine that readers begin to try and predict the author's responses.. it's a neat way of influencing the "teaching' of the approach using the right brain through stories instead of the traditional way. This is a must read for every parent!!!
