So much of what we have learnt about parenting, we learned through being parented ourselves..

But what if the way you were parented, is not the way you want to parent your kids?

What then?

Well, what if I told you that it’s never too late to learn new ways to rock this parent gig?

There’s an infinite number of possibilities and ways to get it right, or right enough. Imagine being able to make sense of what your little one was REALLY needing from you,

Our kids give us so many chances to step up for them!

What you need is a map for understanding your child’s needs

When you can step back and watch yourself and your child

When you can reflect on what you are doing and what you’re not yet doing to meet your child’s needs

… then you’re on the path to creating a secure attachment

THE CIRCLE OF SECURITY PARENTING COURSE

An abbreviated 4 week parenting course designed for parents and caregivers of children aged 0 - 12 years

This program aims to increase your awareness of your child’s needs so you can choose to respond in ways that promote secure attachment and exploration within their world. Look past the blindspots to see what is hidden in plain sight so your can turn negative cycles into powerful ones and create a phenomenal future for your children.

The Circle of Security Parenting Program aims to:

Increase security of attachment
Increase our ability to read our child’s cues
and empathise with them
Gain a clear perspective of our child’s motivations
(hint: they're not attention-seeking or manipulating us)
Increase our ability to reflect, pause and
choose security-promoting caregiving behaviours
Increase our capacity to regulate stressful emotional states
and provide comfort when our child is in distress
Increase our ability to recognise a rupture in the
relationship and facilitate a repair

How does the group thing work?

90 min weekly group sessions over 4 weeks

Group numbers are limited so we can work through the content closely, engage in meaningful discussion and hold space for our reflections and new levels of awareness

You will feel heard, you will feel seen, you will be fully supported through this process in a way that feels comfortable for you

There is no room for judgement in this space, we’re all learning together ‘cos no one is perfect

Learn new solutions, a fresh understanding and a practical approach to parenting

Let’s uncover what this parenting thing is all about and find out how to feel-good about it

All children need the confidence & freedom to explore their world & to know they can come back for comfort and protection whenever they need to

After 60 years of research we know that the more secure children are, the more they are able to:

Enjoy more happiness with their parents (and way less anger)
Turn to their parent for help when in trouble
Solve problems on their own
Get along better with friends and have lasting friendships
Have better relationships with siblings
Increased capacity to understand, process and regulate emotions
Have a higher self-esteem
Know that most problems will have an answer
Trust that good things will come their way
Trust the people they love
Know how to be kind to those around them
Enhanced school-readiness
