In this talk, Sarah How highlights the significance of rethinking relationships related to the messages children receive daily. As a school psychologist, children's author and adoptive mother, she shares her passion for intentional relationships and illustrates the Nurtured Heart Approach®, created by Howard Glasser, as a method for living more intentionally and helping children grow strong on the inside. She shares stories that highlight the power of adults to give children emotional nutrition over junk food, to be more purposeful about highlighting the truth of a child's character, and to be deliberate in which moments they as the adult become "most alive" for the child. She describes how neither positivity alone nor punishment cause children to awaken to their greatness; rather that transformation -- especially for the most behaviorally challenged - comes for children through deepened relationships and a rejuvenated portfolio of who the child believes themselves to be. With this intentionality, adults have the opportunity and calling to see greatness that is within to everyone in true, irrefutable ways.
