Every child is born with characteristics of greatness. Parents have the opportunity to unlock those positive traits, such as patience, wisdom, ambition, and self-control, so that they achieve more, communicate better, and behavior problems disappear. This FREE seminar will send you home with the first key for developing your child's internal motivation for better behavior and school success.
Join Nurtured Heart Advanced Trainers Dan Peterson, LCPC and Diane Overgard, CFLE for this 90 minute seminar. The Nurtured Heart Approach has been adopted by many schools nationally, and in Naperville, as their social curriculum, empowering children to be their best.
Sunday, May 20th 6pm til 7:30pm

This MAY 20th seminar is FREE but please register by clicking here:The goals and objectives of this workshop are to provide parents with tangible skills and understanding that will allow them to immediately start implementing the NHA in their home. Dan calls his Parent Workshops Events because the information, insight, and motivation gained, provides parents with life changing principles and skills that dramatically alter, in powerful and positive ways, the way parents view their children, and in turn, the way children view themselves.
- Energizing success in a very positive way.
- Differentiating between praise and encouragement
- De-Energizing problems - taking the drama and frustration out of discipline
- Strictness. Creating clear rules and expectations to give children the best possible chance of succeeding as well as focusing on learning and recovering from mistakes rather than just "doing time for the crime"
According to the 1999 Surgeon General’s report:
Children must be seen in the context of their social environments—that is, family and peer group, as well as that of their larger physical and cultural surroundings… with the aim of understanding and predicting the forces that will keep children and adolescents mentally healthy and maintain them on course to become mentally healthy adults… Childhood is characterized by periods of transition and reorganization, making it critical to access the mental health of children and adolescents in the context of familial, social, and cultural expectations about age appropriate thoughts, emotions, and behavior.Children’s mental health professionals indicate it is best to address the mental health needs of children in school, at home and within the community environment. Not only is it important to distinguish the mental health needs of children from those of adults, but research indicates that it is best to begin focusing on the issue as early – and as quickly – as possible. Based on Dan’s education and master’s degree in Clinical Psychology, experience working in mental health facilities, and advanced training in the Nurtured Heart Approach, Dan is uniquely equipped and dedicated to bringing the NHA into both schools and homes.
