Building stronger, more secure relationships with your child

Circle of Security Parenting can be helpful for parents and caregivers who want to:

• Better understand their child's behaviour and emotional needs

• Feel more confident in their parenting

• Strengthen their connection with their child

• Navigate big emotions, separation and transitions

• Develop a more connected approach to boundaries and discipline

• Understand their own responses and triggers as a parent

• Build a secure foundation for their child's emotional development

You don't need to be experiencing major difficulties to benefit from the program. COSP is also an opportunity for parents who simply want to deepen their understanding of their child and strengthen their relationship.

Throughout the program, parents are supported to:

• Understand children's emotional needs beneath their behaviour

• Recognise when children are seeking connection, comfort, support or encouragement

• Understand the balance between exploration and connection

• Become more confident in responding to children's emotions

• Set appropriate boundaries while maintaining connection

• Recognise their own parenting triggers and responses

• Repair moments of disconnection

• Build a stronger, more secure parent-child relationship

Circle of Security Parenting® is an 8-week program that combines short videos, discussion, reflection and practical exploration of parenting experiences.

It provides a safe, supportive space to step back from the everyday demands of parenting and look more closely at what children may be communicating through their behaviour.

During the program you will have opportunities to reflect on your own parenting experiences, learn from other parents and explore practical ways of strengthening connection with your child.

Sessions can be offered individually or in a small group setting.
