SUMMARY:The Nurtured Heart Approach Helping Children Flourish Emotionally\, Academically & Socially - Day 4
DESCRIPTION:Four Week Parenting Series – Thursdays 5:30-8:00 pm February 6th\, 13th\, 27th & March 5th 2020 \nThe Nurtured Heart Approach (NHA) is an approach to life that creates a shift in how we relate to the problems that have been causing us challenges. \n\n\n\n\nPresenter:  Joe Clem MA\, LMFT\, BCBA\, Certified NHA Advanced Trainer \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\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 re- build the love you want in your home. NHA teaches us whyour typical parenting methods don’t always work and can evenmake things worse. The magic rests in its ability to use languageto build “inner wealth” and to make positive connections tothose 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\n\n\n\n(No prior reading is required) \n\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n\nWhere: Woodrow Wilson Elementary School \n166 Halstead Avenue \nSloan\, NY 14212 \n(parking is available in the lot behind the school) Enter through Rear Doors \n\n\n\n\nLight dinner at 5:30 pm in cafeteria Parenting Series begins at 6:00 pm \nRegister by email to info@parentnetworkwny.orgOnline at www.parentnetworkwny.org \nor by phone at (716) 332-4170 \nChildcare available for children age 4+ to those who register by January 30th

SUMMARY:The Nurtured Heart Approach Helping Children Flourish Emotionally\, Academically & Socially - Day 3
DESCRIPTION:Four Week Parenting Series – Thursdays 5:30-8:00 pm February 6th\, 13th\, 27th & March 5th 2020 \nThe Nurtured Heart Approach (NHA) is an approach to life that creates a shift in how we relate to the problems that have been causing us challenges. \n\n\n\n\nPresenter:  Joe Clem MA\, LMFT\, BCBA\, Certified NHA Advanced Trainer \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\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 re- build the love you want in your home. NHA teaches us whyour typical parenting methods don’t always work and can evenmake things worse. The magic rests in its ability to use languageto build “inner wealth” and to make positive connections tothose 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\n\n\n\n(No prior reading is required) \n\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n\nWhere: Woodrow Wilson Elementary School \n166 Halstead Avenue \nSloan\, NY 14212 \n(parking is available in the lot behind the school) Enter through Rear Doors \n\n\n\n\nLight dinner at 5:30 pm in cafeteria Parenting Series begins at 6:00 pm \nRegister by email to info@parentnetworkwny.orgOnline at www.parentnetworkwny.org \nor by phone at (716) 332-4170 \nChildcare available for children age 4+ to those who register by January 30th

SUMMARY:Debra Kroetsch-Autism Advocate and an Adult with Autism
DESCRIPTION:Debra Kroetsch was not diagnosed with autism until the age of 50.  She was left to her own devices as wife and mother without the guidance and supports that many others receive.  Debra has “translated the indecipherable neurotypical world into a simpler\, visual language and holds that translation with a permanent context”.  That is to say she has made the world work for her. \nDebra shows the many low-tech but extensive changes that she has made to her life.  She hopes to not only inspire others to think outside the box by thinking “Inside the Box”\, she also hopes to inform others about the way many individuals living with autism see the world.  Debra has the ability to help us understand what often goes on in the minds of our loved ones that they may not be able to relay to us themselves. \nThis Workshop is free to attend but space is limited so we ask that you RSVP to dkroetsch53@gmail.com by February 1\, 2020.

SUMMARY:The Nurtured Heart Approach Helping Children Flourish Emotionally\, Academically & Socially - Day 2
DESCRIPTION:Four Week Parenting Series – Thursdays 5:30-8:00 pm February 6th\, 13th\, 27th & March 5th 2020 \nThe Nurtured Heart Approach (NHA) is an approach to life that creates a shift in how we relate to the problems that have been causing us challenges. \n\n\n\n\nPresenter:  Joe Clem MA\, LMFT\, BCBA\, Certified NHA Advanced Trainer \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\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 re- build the love you want in your home. NHA teaches us whyour typical parenting methods don’t always work and can evenmake things worse. The magic rests in its ability to use languageto build “inner wealth” and to make positive connections tothose 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\n\n\n\n(No prior reading is required) \n\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n\nWhere: Woodrow Wilson Elementary School \n166 Halstead Avenue \nSloan\, NY 14212 \n(parking is available in the lot behind the school) Enter through Rear Doors \n\n\n\n\nLight dinner at 5:30 pm in cafeteria Parenting Series begins at 6:00 pm \nRegister by email to info@parentnetworkwny.orgOnline at www.parentnetworkwny.org \nor by phone at (716) 332-4170 \nChildcare available for children age 4+ to those who register by January 30th
