Circle of Security Parenting Program

At times all parents feel lost or without a clue about what our child might need from us. Imagine what it might feel like if you were able to make sense of what your child was really asking from you. The Circle of Security Parenting program is based on decades of research about how secure parent-child relationships can be supported and strengthened. The program supports parents to develop the skills they need to see beyond their child’s behaviour, to the need that lies beneath. Focusing on the unique relationship you have with your child. CoSP leaves you with a deeper understanding of both your child and yourself.

This program is run by our Circle of Security Facilitator, Jayne.

Across the classes you will learn to…

• Understand your child’s emotional world by learning to read their emotional needs
• Deepen your connection with your child
• Support your child’s ability to manage emotions
• Enhance the development of self-esteem and wellbeing
• Honour your innate wisdom and desire for your child to be secure
• Examine the way you were parented and how it impacts your parenting

When should you consider Circle of Security Parenting?

• If you are the parent of children aged 6 months – 6 years of age
• If you want to develop a secure attachment and respectful, responsive relationship with your child
• If you sometimes feels a little ‘lost’ in parenthood, wondering what is ‘going on’ for your child
• You may feel like you would like to parent differently to how you were parented
• If mainstream parenting advice doesn’t feel right to you
• If you ever feel triggered by your child’s behaviour
• You want to be the absolute best parent you can be

Babies/toddlers are of course welcome, but in our experience, parents are better able to give themselves fully to the process when they are able to be fully present.
