If you or someone you care about is interested in ADHD parenting in Santa Monica, there is helping guidance and effective information readily available. What's missing from nearly all parenting approaches is nurturing the greatness of each child. The only approach that does this is The Nurtured Heart Approach, which was created by Howard Glasser as a therapeutic approach designed to help parents, educators, and therapists who work with or have challenging children. It was originally designed for the "difficult" child, meaning children with a diagnosis of Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD), Attention-deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD), Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and other disruptive behavioral disorders. However, it can be applied to ALL children.
The foundation of the Nurtured Heart Approach (NHA) is "inner wealth" in which you actively recognize and appreciate the positive choices your child makes on a consistent basis. These choices are reflected as qualities of greatness that your child possesses. For example, you might say: "Debbie, I'm appreciating your choice to get along with your brother. Thanks for being so considerate," or "Thanks, Eric, for handling your frustration well. I know you wanted a second helping of dessert and were mad when I said no, but I am so proud of you for not arguing or complaining." Hence, you are recognizing your child for making good choices in the moment regardless of past problems.
