Our NEW POWER TOOL -- Tina Feingold
The Nurtured Heart Approach is based on the concept that intense children are seeking the emotional energy of the adults in their lives. If you take a trip inside the brain of the ADHD or Oppositional Defiant child, you see numerous fast-firing neurons producing a hunger for activity, intensity, and speed. When adults interact with a child who is misbehaving, the usual response is emotional intensity in the form of a raised voice, big gestures, and wide eyes. This emotional intensity creates a "match" inside the child's active brain, inadvertently rewarding the undesired behavior. . .

GETTING OUT FROM DOWN THE RABBIT
 HOLE.
 Monday was a bit of a surprise for Jodee as she stepped into an open trap door and fractured
vertibrae and back ribs.  Life with tough kids can be like that, one moment you are walking on firmly on the ground and the next moment you are stepping into thin air preparing to fall
face down! Here's to healing and rapid recovery for all

Sincerely,
 
Jodee Kulp and Deb Fjeld
