Nurtured Heart
Parent Coaching
Counter
Whether you child is passing through some of the rocky periods associated with normal
developmental stages or has been diagnosed with a childhood syndrome, parenting is sometimes a
challenge and can be fraught with uncertainty and self doubt.  There are strategies parents can
employ however to help their children grow into the happy, confident and competent adults we hope
they will be while nourishing a close parent/child relationship.

Our parent coaching trains and supports parents of children of all ages in using the
Nurtured Heart
Approach to parenting.  This research based approach, currently in use in thousands of homes and
schools around the country, is rewarding and simple to implement and has been found to be highly
effective with children of all personality types (from easy going to intense or spirited) and has been
very successful with children who have difficulty with impulsivity, attention and compliance.

Through our classes, over one hundred twenty-five parents and seventy-five educators have been
trained in the successful use of the Nurtured Heart approach.














Coaching generally consists of four to six training sessions with optional follow up coaching sessions.

"It's like my kids love me more.  There is more
joy in our relationship."   
 (C.S. - Chapel Hill)
"I noticed an immediate  and dramatic change in my daughter: the number
of times during the week that she would run upstairs upset and crying
decreased significantly.  The days I practice the nurtured heart approach
are those days she's in a good mood."  
-A. F.

"There are still problems, but things are better with (my most challenging
child).  But, what's best about this approach for me is that at the end of the
day, I feel good about who I am."  
-C. S.

"Nurtured Heart has worked great for our family.  Our previously daily
power struggles are almost non-existent, and our daughter is so much more
confident."
