Nurtured Heart review, part 2

Happy New Year! Hope this finds you refreshed and looking forward to the coming year.

We are now ready to move into a review of the specific Nurtured Heart techniques. It helps to think of the Nutured Heart strategies as a three legged stool.

Leg 1: Refusing to energize or accidentally reward negativity: saving Toys 'R Us for positive behaviors;

Leg 2: Energizing experiences of success: noticing and complimenting;

Leg 3: Providing the right level of limit setting and consequences: setting and enforcing high expectations.

Just as with a stool, all three legs are equally important and need to be even in order for the approach to work well.

In our next post we will begin to talk about leg one.
