Joe Clem MA\, LMFT\, BCBA\, Certified NHA Advanced Trainer \nAre you frustrated by behavior challenges that put your child in control of your home?  Have your discipline methods stopped working? Do you want your children to have good morals\, be compassionate\, and be self-confident?\nThe Nurtured Heart Approach (NHA) is a language based approach that can help you regain focus and power and rebuild the love you want in your home.  NHA teaches us why our typical parenting methods don’t always work and can even make things worse.  The magic rests in its ability to use language to build “inner wealth” and to make positive connections to those around us by focusing on what IS working\, at all times.\nYou will learn how to hold clear limits and consequences while you build positive connections.  You will immediately FEEL the difference in your home\, and in time\, you\, your children and your family learn to flourish.\nThe approach is valid for all ages and types of relationships.  It is effective for behaviorally and emotionally challenged children (ADHD\, ODD\, ASD\, Attachment\, etc.) as well as typically developing children.  You will leave this series with clear techniques and strategies to face the behavioral challenges that brought you in.\nThe approach has much proven success in homes\, schools\, human service agencies and businesses all over the world.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Education for Empowerment: School and Teens in Healthcare Transition
DESCRIPTION:Parent to Parent of NYS presents the webinar: Education for Empowerment: School and Teens in Healthcare Transition presented by Lin Perry\, Project Director for Family to Family Healthcare Information Center.  As our youth with ID/DD or special healthcare needs transition from pediatric to adult healthcare systems\, self-advocates and parents alike need to understand the importance of transitioning their healthcare effectively.  While many people engage in transition planning for their education to adult systems\, sadly healthcare\, isn’t often included in those plans.  And yet\, good health is the most fundamental and foundational aspect of any person’s success. \nIn this webinar participants will learn what research says\, what issues to consider\, the importance of transitioning healthcare and some effective means to begin a plan to transition for the caregiver/parent or for the child.  The focus is on being a good parent partner with health professionals\, and using some tools to begin the conversations and plan for and insure success. \nContact Tina Beauparlant at 518-381-4350 with any questions. \nRegistration URL: https://attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/1597491849095003662

SUMMARY:The Nurtured Heart Approach - Day 3
DESCRIPTION:The Nurtured Heart Approach Helping Children Flourish Emotionally\, Academically & Socially \nJoe Clem MA\, LMFT\, BCBA\, Certified NHA  Advanced Trainer \nAre you frustrated by behavior challenges that put your child in control of your home? Have your discipline methods stopped working?  Do you want your children to have good morals\, be compassionate\, and be self-confident?\nThe Nurtured Heart Approach (NHA) is a language based approach that can help you regain focus and power and rebuild the love you want in your home.  NHA teaches us why our typical parenting methods don’t always work and can even make things worse.  The magic rests in its ability to use language to build “inner wealth” and to make positive connections to those around us by focusing on what IS working\, at all times.\nYou will learn how to hold clear limits and consequences while you build positive connections.  You will immediately FEEL the difference in your home\, and in time\, you\, your children and your family learn to flourish.\nThe approach is valid for all ages and types of relationships.  It is effective for behaviorally and emotionally challenged children (ADHD\, ODD\, ASD\, Attachment\, etc.) as well as typically developing children.  You will leave this series with clear techniques and strategies to face the behavioral challenges that brought you in.\nThe approach has much proven success in homes\, schools\, human service agencies and businesses all over the world. We look forward to seeing you Transform!!\n(No prior reading is required.) \nFour Week Online Parenting Series \nTuesdays 6:00-8:00 pm \nNovember 17th & 24th 2020\nRegister by email to info@parentnetworkwny.org Online at www.parentnetworkwny.org or by phone at (716) 332-4170\nOnline Zoom Sessions for NHA.   Please register at the address below and you will receive meeting ID and password.  Register:  https://tinyurl.com/y2e3en2m\nPlease set up Zoom at 5:45pm so we can begin the parent session at 6:00pm. \nSponsored by Charles D and Mary A Bauer Foundation
