07/15/2020 - NHA Recognitions Review  In this introduction to "heart work," I review NHA recognitions with examples that address COVID-19 and racial justice.  "My heart work includes examining my values and beliefs, moving through denial and defenses, pushing back on years of socialization, and taking risks to make a positive difference."

05/28/2020 - Emotions and NHA®  Referencing the work of Marc Brackett, Ph.D., I connect NHA with his book Permission to Feel: Unlocking the Power of Emotions to Help Our Kids, Ourselves, and Our Society Thrive which includes the Mood Meter pictured below.

In this TED talk, Sarah How highlights the significance of rethinking relationships related to the messages children receive daily. As a school psychologist, children's author and adoptive mother, she shares her passion for intentional relationships and illustrates the Nurtured Heart Approach®, created by Howard Glasser, as a method for living more intentionally and helping children grow strong on the inside. She shares stories that highlight the power of adults to give children emotional nutrition over junk food, to be more purposeful about highlighting the truth of a child's character, and to be deliberate in which moments they as the adult become "most alive" for the child. She describes how neither positivity alone nor punishment cause children to awaken to their greatness; rather that transformation -- especially for the most behaviorally challenged - comes for children through deepened relationships and a rejuvenated portfolio of who the child believes him or herself to be. With this intentionality, adults have the opportunity and calling to see greatness that is within to everyone in true, irrefutable ways.
