The Nurtured Heart Approach is a revolutionary way to facilitate success, self-esteem and greater happiness in every area of life for your challenging child. Laurie Weinberg is one of a handful of specialized therapists in Canada who currently have advanced certification in this technique.
Many children these days are being labelled with conditions such as ADHD and OCD. The children are being medicated; the parents are feeling blamed and helpless. Caring parents are reading books and taking courses without experiencing any significant change in the behaviour of their children.
On the basis of an initial assessment, Laurie will work with you and teach you how to be your child's therapist. And who better than you to be the healer of your child?
Rather than asking a child to diminish his or her natural intensity, this approach teaches the parent how to help the child manage it. Parents are taught to acknowledge positive behaviours while maintaining a specific structure and clear set of rules and guidelines. The child begins to flourish.
The core of the technique is love, respect and compassion.
In-home coaching sessions: Usually, Laurie recommends about six hours spread over a period of a couple of weeks to allow for teaching, implementation and coaching on the techniques and tools of the Nurtured Heart Approach.
Unscheduled phone sessions: Laurie recommends 1.5 hours of unscheduled phone time to allow for immediate advice as needed.
E-mail follow up time: Laurie will take notes on your sessions and e-mail all the important information. This helps you to stay focused and clear on what is being implemented without you worrying about taking notes.
Rates: The cost of the Nurtured Heart Approach is much less than other conventional long-term treatment methods. Please inquire.
Travel costs: There is no charge for the first 15 minutes of travel time. After that, the cost is $1/minute.
