St. Francis School utilizes the Nurtured Heart Approach®. Developed by family therapist, Howard Glasser to work with intense children, this social-emotional framework offers strategies to forge positive transformation in behavior and emotional regulation. Utilizing the intentional direction of emotional energy, caregivers apply the Three Stands (Absolutely No, Absolutely Yes, and Absolute Clarity) to build Inner Wealth in children.
