Being a parent isn’t always easy and at times we can feel lost or confused about what our child may want. We can all wonder:

  • What does my child want from me?
  • Why are they behaving like this?
  • Am I getting it right?

Circle Of Security Parenting is a Group for Parents & carers with children aged 2yrs -5yrs is a 8- 10-week group programme where you will meet other like minded parents with a welcome introductory session.

Each group session lasts for 1 ½ hours and you will need to arrange childcare.

Imagine being able to make sense of what you child is really asking from you. The Circle of Security Parenting™ is based on decades of research about how secure parent-child relationships can be strengthened and supported.  The program supports parents to:

  • Understand your child’s emotional world by learning to read their needs
  • Support their ability to manage their own emotions
  • Enhance the development of their self esteem
  • Help your child to feel secure
  • Notice the ways in which your child communicates their needs & feelings through behaviours.
  • Acknowledge your childs specific needs and how you may meet these needs.
  • Be curious and consider how your child is feeling and remember children cannot manage BIG feelings on their own.
  • Helps parents to recognise & understand these feelings in order to be available for their children.
