In this empowering and heart-centered episode of Nourished with Dr. Anikó, Dr. Anikó introduces a powerful parenting framework that transforms how we connect with our children and ourselves through radical love, clear boundaries, and intentional celebration.

Drawing from the Nurtured Heart Approach, Dr. Anikó explores how small but intentional shifts in attention and communication can help children (and adults) feel deeply seen, valued, and empowered. 

Far beyond traditional discipline, this approach centers on behavior inspiration rather than behavior management, allowing our children to grow into their best selves through consistent affirmation and connection.

Dr. Anikó explains how redirecting your energy from reactive parenting toward clear expectations, enthusiastic recognition of positive behavior, and low-drama responses to missteps can build emotional resilience, deeper connection, and healthier family dynamics.

This episode is a must-listen for anyone navigating parenting, partnerships, or even their own inner child healing. It’s a reminder that love, clarity, and noticing the good is the foundation for change.

Episode Highlights:

• What the Nurtured Heart Approach is and why it’s more than a parenting method
• Why traditional discipline often fails to address the root of misbehavior
• The science behind ignoring negative behavior to reduce it
• How to affirm your child’s positive actions in real time
• The three "Stands" that form the foundation of this approach
• Why kids labeled with “attention issues” may not acting out
• How to collaborate with children on consequences they find fair

This episode isn’t just about parenting, it’s about human-ing with more compassion and emotional intelligence. Whether you're raising kids, building partnerships, or healing your own inner landscape, this conversation offers a beautiful blueprint for connection.
