This book is about really 'difficult' children & how through the Nurtured Heart Approach of Howard Glasser & Jennifer Easley their lives & the lives of those who care about them can be transformed for the better.

The authors reject the 'ritalin based' approach believing instead that a challenging child can have an essential change of nature & can begin to use his or her intensity in remarkably positive ways. ...
