Where are you on your parenting journey? |
|
As all of you know by now, children do not come with owner's manuals. We all learn to parent "on the job" and from our own parents. There are so many decisions to make for our children that often times we make a decision and hope for the best. I believe the Nurtured Heart Approach offers insight to understanding children's behavior and strategies for parents to use to modify behavior and help them become strong, confident individuals.
The Nurtured Heart Approach addresses negative behavior in a positive way and builds the "inner wealth" of both children and adults. The three strands of the approach are:
- Relentless pursuit and celebration of success
- Refusal to give energy or "payoff" to negative behavior
- Strict enforcement of clear and consistent rules
CIS staff and teachers have been implementing the NHA strategies this school year and we would love parents to learn these strategies. This will provide a common language to address behavior between the home and the school. Please take advantage of this great opportunity.
Remember, parenting is a journey and we can all use guidance to illumnate the road ahead. |
