Transforming Intensity into Inner Wealth™
The Nurtured Heart Approach® (NHA) is a relationship-focused method designed to transform the way we connect with children—especially those who are intense, sensitive, or deeply spirited.
Developed by Howard Glasser, NHA helps parents, educators, and caregivers build a child’s Inner Wealth™—a lasting sense of value, purpose, and self-regulation—by shifting focus toward what is going right and energizing the moments we want more of.
Intensity Is A Gift,
Not a Problem
What if intensity isn’t something to be afraid of, but something to celebrate? The Nurtured Heart Approach® teaches children and adults to channel powerful emotions into creative, purposeful expression.
By guiding your energy and recognition with intention, NHA transforms struggle
into connection and behavior into channels of brilliance.
Every child can thrive when they feel truly seen, valued, and understood.
Awaken the
Greatness Within
The Nurtured Heart Approach® has the power to activate the inherent brilliance within every child—and every adult.
By consistently noticing and energizing their inner strengths, children begin to internalize a powerful sense of identity rooted in greatness.
They become guided not by external praise or fear, but by an internal compass—an inner GPS—leading them toward purpose, authenticity, and joy.
A Movement of Heart-Conscious Parenting
The Nurtured Heart Approach® is more than a strategy—it’s a movement.
It empowers you to create a home or classroom culture where children feel safe to be themselves, intense energy becomes an asset, and every interaction is an opportunity to build connection and greatness.
It begins with how we show up—and how we choose to see.
Feel anchored, empowered, and ready to ride the waves of parenting with grace, clarity, and love through the Nurtured Heart Approach®
