Can you help children with challenging behaviors without bribes, sticker charts, or constant rewards?In this episode, I sit down with Yiska Zelikovich, an experienced teacher, to talk about the Nurtured Heart Approach and how it shifts the focus from managing behavior to building inner confidence and successful outcomes. We explore what positive reinforcement really means, why external rewards can sometimes backfire, and how intentional recognition can transform both classrooms and homes.We also discuss how this approach beautifully aligns with Jewish parenting and teaching values—seeing each child’s inherent greatness, celebrating successes, and creating clear routines that help children feel secure, capable, and empowered.If you’re a parent or educator looking for practical, values-based tools to support strong-willed or high-energy kids, this conversation is for you.You can connect with Yiska at [email protected] more from me visit my website MussiDiskin.com or email me at [email protected] out my free parenting course called Parenting 101 at MussiDiskin.com/freecontent
