HOWARD GLASSER

Howard Glasser is the Chairman of the Board of the Children's Success Foundation and creator of The Nurtured Heart Approach®. He is dedicated to awakening the greatness in all children, with a particular focus on intense and challenging children. The approach s core methodologies, born out of his extensive clinical work, effectively inspire difficult children to successfully channel their intensity. Worldwide, hundreds of thousands of parents, educators, and treatment and child-advocacy agencies have used this approach with consistently transformative results. Howard is the author of Transforming the Difficult Child, currently the top-selling book on ADHD; Notching Up the Nurtured Heart Approach: The New Inner Wealth Initiative, a leading book on school interventions; and All Children Flourishing, on using the NHA with all children, difficult or not. Four of Howard s prior eight books are in the top one percent of all books on Amazon, confirming the need and relevance of his message and methodology. All parents and educators, even those with well-behaved children, can benefit from learning how to inspire thriving relationships through the Nurtured Heart Approach®. Howard has been called one of the most influential living persons working to reduce children s reliance on psychiatric medications. His work also supports children in resisting addictive substances. He has been a featured guest on CNN, a consultant for 48 Hours, and was recently featured in Esquire. He currently instructs educators, parents and therapists through live presentations and Internet-based courses. Although he has done extensive doctoral work in Clinical Psychology and Educational Leadership, he credits his own years as an intense child as the strongest contributors to his understanding of the needs of children with immense life force.
