GREAT FOR PARENTS AND CAREGIVERS OF CHILDREN BIRTH THROUGH 11 YEARS OLD, AS WELL AS PROFESSIONALS
DESCRIPTION:
As parents/caregivers, we often think, “Are we getting it right?” We base our parenting on experiences from our own childhood, advice from others, and our instincts and beliefs. But often we feel overwhelmed and challenged by our child(ren).
The Circle of Security © Parenting eight-week course provides relationship tools to offer a new way of understanding your child. You will learn how secure relationships can be supported and strengthened, pick up on cues your child is communicating, and be able to identify when they need encouragement to do things on their own or emotional support. This training is not recorded. Participants must attend all sessions to receive a certificate. This evidence-based curriculum is great for parents, caregivers of children from birth through 11 years old, as well as professionals.

– Understand and respond to children’s emotional needs
– Help your child manage feelings and behaviors
– Honor your inner wisdom and desire for your child(ren) to be secure
– Help children build a healthy foundation for a lifetime of success
