Circle of Security Parenting® Program
An internationally recognised attachment-based parenting program to strengthen connection, confidence and emotional understanding.
You don’t need to be a perfect parent to join. You just need to be willing to grow.
Parenting can feel confusing when your child’s emotions are big.
You may find yourself wondering:
Why does my child react so strongly?
Am I responding the “right” way?
Why do I feel calm one moment and overwhelmed the next?
How do I stay connected when things feel hard?
The Circle of Security® Parenting Program is designed to help parents better understand their child’s emotional world and respond with greater clarity, confidence, and connection.
What is Circle of Security® Parenting?
Circle of Security® Parenting Program (COSP) is an evidence-informed, attachment-based parenting program that helps parents:
Understand their child’s emotional needs
Recognise the meaning behind behaviour
Strengthen secure attachment
Support emotional regulation
Respond with both empathy and appropriate limits
The program offers a clear, compassionate roadmap for navigating everyday parenting challenges through a relationship-focused lens.
At Children’s Therapy Tasmania, Circle of Security® is delivered in a warm, reflective, and non-judgemental space grounded in trauma-informed practice.
