Psychologist Howie Glasser created the Nurtured Heart Approach to therapy and education, and really to life. Children, especially those with great perceptivity and energy, quickly discover that they get more time, attention, and intensive relating by being difficult than by being easy. Often we tend to ignore children until they do make trouble! Howie’s approach is to help children to appreciate and expand the good and even great things that they do routinely and often unknowingly in their relationships. (It also works for adult relationships.) Howie and I have known each other for years and the hour itself has a good energy you will enjoy.

What amazes me Peter is how wise you are about human nature and realistic about the negative side of humanity yet you are so incredibly kind. I think the realism is REALLY important so we don’t get easily discouraged while fighting for what’s right... because that isn’t why we do what we do “to change” people but rather because it is just the right thing to do. If you rely on changing others to be the reward, you will be greatly discouraged.
