Wings...
"Give the ones you love wings to fly"
Greetings…
Thanks for joining us at the Virtual Desk of Nurtured Heart!
As the weather continues to warm up, I hope you are finding new ways to rejuvenate your mind and body. Nurtured Heart works the same magic for your relationships. Because I’m attuned to the message of NHA, I tend to see it everywhere- in articles, podcasts, interviews on the news, and in stories of well adjusted adults. The common thread that people attribute their success to is a person who wholeheartedly sees the best in them and believes that they can do anything that they put their minds to. Gives them wings to fly!
Of course, this makes total sense.
Of course we all believe that our children are special and hope that their lives are full and blessed.
Luckily, NHA gives us actionable strategies to ensure that our children see themselves as we see them. It asks us to be conscious of where we relentlessly place our energy. To provide more NHA background, Howard shares his wisdom on how to make any moment an opportunity to mirror a child’s greatness back to them.
Principle 4 - Create Greatness (5:12 minutes)
“Catching a child being good” will not serve you in propelling greatness. There is a much better lens which is “creating” greatness by the way we choose to take advantage of the moments of the day and mirror back what we see, detailing the great qualities the child is showing by the choices he is making in the moment. ~ Howard Glasser
Principle 5 - Act Out Greatness (3:58 minutes)
Children led to feel like they are great by the way we reflect and attribute greatness, come to act out greatness. This is a much better way of acting out. ~ Howard Glasser
I hope you have been able to articulate all the little greatnesses your child has been showing you over the past several weeks. It takes A LOT of practice to provide low energy when things are going sideways and to remember to show up BIG when things are going well. But, your little, relentless noticings will grow your child’s inner wealth so that when they go out in the world, they are secure in their own greatness.
Have a groovy week! Reach out with any questions!
To YOUR (and your child’s) Greatness, Humanity and Significance!
Amy and Karla
