    Nutritura which means to promote, nurse and
    nourish life.
  • The energy of nurturing is both positive and
    negative.

Workbook pg. 3
22
Philosophy of Nurturing Parenting
  • Positive nurturing is nourishing the aspects of
    life we want.
  • Negative nurturing is nourishing the aspects of
    life we dont want, but get anyway.

Workbook pg. 4
23
Philosophy of Nurturing Parenting
  • Positive nurturing is called Empathy. Empathy
    comes from the Greek word Empatheia, meaning
    feeling into.
  • Empathy is the ability to perceive the subjective
    experience of another person.

Workbook pg. 4

    which means to mistreat cruel and harsh
    punishment.

Workbook pg. 4

Philosophy of Nurturing Parenting
  • Alice laughed, Theres no use in trying, she
    said. One cant believe in impossible things.
    I daresay you havent had much practice, said
    the queen. When I was your age I always did it
    for half an hour a day. Why sometimes Ive
    believed as many as six impossible things
    before breakfast.

  • - Lewis Carroll

28
Philosophy of Nurturing Parenting
  • The neurological networks and pathways that are
    created in childhood and influence behavior are
    the result of the frequency and intensity of the
    quality of life.

Workbook pg. 4
29
Philosophy of Nurturing Parenting
  • Events develop personality characteristics.
  • Personality characteristics lead to personality
    traits.
  • Personality traits lead to full blown
    personalities.

Workbook pg. 5
30
Philosophy of Nurturing Parenting
  • Abusive and neglecting parenting practices create
    diseased networks of anger, stress, etc.
  • Two dysfunctional traits are formed
  • The Perpetrator The Victim

Workbook pg. 5
31
Philosophy of Nurturing Parenting
  • Nurturing parenting practices reinforce a complex
    system of hormones and other chemical messengers
    in the brain that predisposes human beings to
    form and sustain strong attachments to other
    people.
  • As a result of nurturing, two personality traits
    are reinforced
  • The Nurturer The Nurtured

Website at www.nurturingparenting.com
34
  • An elder Cherokee Native American was teaching
    his grandchild about life. He said to his
    grandchild

35
  • A fight is going on inside of me and it is a
    terrible fight and it is between two wolves.

36
  • One wolf represents fear, anger, envy, sorrow,
    regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt,
    resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride,
    superiority and ego.

37
  • The other wolf stands for honor, joy, peace,
    love, hope, sharing, serenity, humility,
    kindness, benevolence, friendship, empathy,
    generosity, truth, compassion, and faith.

38
  • The same fight is going on inside of you and
    inside of every other human being too.

39
  • After thinking about it for a minute or two, the
    grandchild asked her grandfather, Which wolf
    will win?

40
  • The old man leaned toward his grandchild and
    whispered
  • The one you feed.

41

Philosophy of Nurturing Parenting
  • Cells carry an emotional memory in addition to
    the cognitive memory.

    more they become normalized, form neural
    pathways, and become the story of that person.

Workbook pg. 6
43
Philosophy of Nurturing Parenting
  • To change the brains pathways, people need to
    learn how to change their minds thinking.

Workbook pg. 6
44
The Nurturing Parenting Philosophy of Change

The Nature of the I
  • Biological systems predispose human beings to
    form and sustain enduring, nurturing
    relationships.

Workbook pg. 8
47
The Nature of the I
  • The presence or absence of a nurturing
    environment during childhood not only shapes a
    childs psychological and emotional development
    but also alters brain development in ways that
    profoundly affect long-term health.

Workbook pg. 8
48
The Nature of the I
  • Animal studies suggest that positive nurture may
    neutralize genetic vulnerabilities to depression
    and similar problems and perhaps even transform
    what would otherwise be genetic vulnerabilities
    into strengths.

Workbook pg. 8
49
The Nature of the I
  • The nature of brain development during
    adolescence creates a continuing need for a
    nurturing environment.

Workbook pg. 8
50
The Nature of the I
  • Human beings are biologically primed to seek
    moral and spiritual meaning, and nurturing
    relationships are a central foundation for a
    positive moral and spiritual development.

Workbook pg. 8
51
The Nature of the I
  • Nurturing relationships and a spiritual
    connection to the transcendent significantly
    improve physical and emotional health.

Workbook pg. 8

    negative experiences promote the development of
    an adapted or acquired self.
  • Positive Adapted Self Negative Adapted

    brain uses to organize and make sense of our
    perceptions which include memories and

    value of every perceptual and cognitive
    experience we have.

Workbook pg. 9

    Self.

Workbook pg. 9
58
Parenting Constructs
  • The following constructs identify the known
    parenting practices and child rearing behaviors
    of abusive and neglecting parents.
  • The Nurturing Parenting Programs are designed to
    treat and prevent these practices from occurring.

Workbook pg. 10
59
Construct A Inappropriate Parental
Expectations
  • Beginning very early in the infants life,
    abusive parents tend to inaccurately perceive the
    skills and abilities of their children.

Workbook pg. 10
60
Construct B Parental Lack of an Empathic
Awareness of Childrens Needs
  • Empathic parents are sensitive to their children
    and create an environment that is conducive to
    promoting childrens emotional, intellectual,
    physical, social, spiritual, and creative growth.

Workbook pg. 10
61
Construct C Strong Belief in the Use of
Corporal Punishment
  • Physical punishment is generally the preferred
    means of discipline used by abusive parents.
    Throughout history, the use of corporal
    punishment has been well documented.

Workbook pg. 11

Corporal Punishment Why Parents Hit Their
Children
  • Parents hit children to teach them right from
    wrong.
  • Parents hit children as a form of punishment.
  • Parents hit children based on religious writings.
  • Parents hit children as an act of love.

    practice.

    world.

Workbook pgs. 29-30
63
Construct D Parent-Child Role Reversal
  • Parent-child role reversal is an interchanging of
    traditional role behaviors between a parent and
    child, so that the child adopts some of the
    behaviors traditionally associated with parents.

Workbook pg. 12
64
Construct E Oppressing Childrens Power and
Independence
  • When childrens power and independence are
    oppressed, they are not allowed to challenge, to
    voice opinions, or to have choices, but rather
    are told to do what they are told to do without
    question.

Workbook pg. 12
65
Construct E Oppressing Childrens Power and
Independence
  • This demand for compliance to parental authority
    has many limitations
  • Obedience breeds powerlessness.
  • Obedience breeds inadequacy.
  • Obedience also breeds rebelliousness.
  • Obedience breeds compliance to all.
  • Obedience breeds followers, not leaders.

Workbook pg. 12
66
Morals and Values of Nurturing Parenting
  • To advance the efforts of the treatment and
    prevention of dysfunctional and abusive parenting
    practices, the moral beliefs of caring for ones
    self, for others, for animals, and for the
    environment must be valued.

Workbook pg. 14
67
Value One
  • A positive self-worth is critical to the ability
    to nurture ones self, others, animals, and the
    environment. Parents and children who treat
    themselves with respect will in turn treat others
    with respect.

Workbook pg. 15
68
Value Two
  • Empathy forms the foundation of Nurturing
    Parenting. Empathy is the ability to be aware of
    the needs of others, and to take positive actions
    on the behalf of others. Developing a sense of
    empathy is the cornerstone of the Nurturing
    Parenting Programs.

Workbook pg. 20
69
Value Three
  • Children need to be empowered to make good
    choices and wise decisions through the use of
    their strong will and personal power. Developing
    a strong sense of personal power is a necessary
    element in becoming a nurturing individual.

Workbook pg. 24
70
Value Four
  • Discipline is the practice of teaching children
    to be respectful, cooperative, and contributing
    members to a family and society. Parental
    practices of discipline must model the sought
    after behavior of the child.

Workbook pg. 27
71
Value Five
  • Humor, laughter, and fun promote happiness in
    families, an optimistic view of life, and outlet
    for stress reduction, and the chance to make
    living together as a family enjoyable. A happy
    child is an easier child to parent than a child
    with a negative, hostile attitude.
