The Center for the Challenging Child offers phone coaching for biological, foster and adoptive parent and inservice training for professionals of all types (educators, childcare providers, therapists, social workers, clergy). The training and coaching are based on the Nurtured Heart Approach, which is the topic of the book "Transforming the Difficult Child" by Howard Glasser.
