Howard Glasser is the co-founder of the Nurtured Heart Institute and creator of the Nurtured Heart Approach. He focuses on family treatment, clinical studies, and educational leadership. Glasser specializes in helping children find their “greatness,” a theme at the center of his books, programs, and teachings. He also focuses on strengthening relationships between children and their parents. 

 

In today’s episode, host Shay Beider welcomes Howard Glasser to talk about how everyone’s individual attributes can be the building blocks for their unique contribution in the world. Each life is precious and offers a special gift to the world. Glasser helps children and their parents see this light of individuality. He also shares his personal challenges as an intense child and how he learned to deal with his oppositional defiance that has influenced his approach with families, schools and communities all over the world.
