Circle of Security Parenting Program

Circle of Security Parenting is an internationally recognised parenting program helping parents support their social and emotional wellbeing of their kids.

About the Program

One of the best ways to support the social and emotional wellbeing of children is through the safe and secure relationships children have with their parents.

The quality of the parent and child relationship is so powerful, it supports children’s wellbeing throughout adulthood and sets them and future generations up for success.

  • The Circle of Security Parenting Program:

    • is an eight chapter program informed by 60 years of research in parent and child relationships

    • a widely popular program facilitated throughout many countries across the globe

    • helps parents learn attuned and emotionally responsive caregiving

    • helps parents choose safety and security for their kids over fear and punishment

    • focuses on understanding and meeting the needs of children to address behaviour

  • The parenting program is beneficial for parents who:

    • have children at least 3 months of age

    • are looking for practical parenting skills to support their kids and themselves to thrive

    • don’t buy into rewards or compliance based approaches

    • are interested to learn more about attuned and emotionally responsive caregiving

    • who want to feel less frustrated or triggered by their kids

    • want their children to thrive well into adulthood

  • Throughout the program parents learn:

    • how to recognise their child’s needs and how they show up

    • how to help children feel seen, heard and held through their emotions and behaviours

    • how to be a bigger, stronger, wiser and kind caregiver who is attuned and emotionally responsive

    • how to tame your feelings when your child’s behaviours trigger you

    • how to repair inevitable ruptures that occur in relationships

  • During a typical session parents meet with our facilitator 1:1 either online or face to face where they reflect and watch video footage.  The footage explains complicated concepts in easy to understand ways that most parents are able to understand.

    Each session is designed to build on the one before it.  This allows parents to practice new ways of being at a slow and steady pace.

    Using questions that encourage reflection, parents are invited to apply what they’ve learned to their own children, own situation and their own experiences of being parented.  The 1:1 environment promotes an environment of safety, which invites parents to be vulnerable.

    At the end of each session parents are invited to practice what they’ve learned in the home.

    Parents are encouraged to share stories about their new discoveries and celebrated as their confidence in attuned and emotionally responsive caregiving grows.
