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™ is a group program run over 8 weeks. It is based on decades of research about how secure parent-child relationships can be supported and strengthened.

Who is it for?

Parents, grandparents, foster carers, kinship carers or any other loving caregivers of children of any age, who want to strengthen their relationship with the children they care for.

Participating in a Circle of Security Parenting group is a beautiful opportunity to deepen your self-understanding, and make the connections between your own childhood and how you are showing up as a parent or caregiver today.

It is also a special time to connect with other parents and caregivers in a real and honest way.

What will you learn?

Together we will explore ways to:

  • Understand your child's emotional world by learning to read their emotional needs
  • Support your child's ability to successfully manage emotions
  • Enhance the development of your child's self esteem
  • Honor your innate wisdom and desire for your child to be secure in their relationship with you

How does it work?

We will meet as a group once a week for a 1.5hr session. The sessions consist of a combination of watching Circle of Security videos, completing some reflective exercises and engaging in group discussions.

We will then have a week to allow the information to settle, to reflect and learn through doing. The magic really happens when we are able to take our learning and reflections home and see the Circle in action. Each week there is an invitation to share your "Circle Stories" - stories of seeing the Circle with your child and any reflections that come to the surface.

Each session builds on the previous one, so it is important to try and attend all sessions. We know that life happens, so if you have to miss a session, we can chat about how to help you catch up. If you miss more than two, we suggest you join the next group.
