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. We look forward to seeing you Transform!!\n(No prior reading is required.) \nFour Week Online Parenting Series \nTuesdays 6:00-8:00 pm \nOctober 13th\, 20th\, and 27th 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.
