Circle of Security Parenting Groups

As parents, we have all asked questions like: Why would they behave like that? What am I supposed to do now?  Why is this so hard? Circle of Security Parenting© Groups are designed to give parents ‘a map’ for understanding and responding to their children’s emotional needs. They help us focus on the most important thing of all - our relationship with our children.

We will be running Circle of Security Parenting Groups every school term in a number of different settings. The live groups run for eight weeks and usually have between 10-12 parents/carers per group. The online groups have a maximum of 6 people. There is a mixture of DVD material and facilitator led discussion. 

We ask for a donation for those who are able (suggested £120 for a person, £200 for a couple). However during these difficult times we are grateful for any donation. Either book and pay via the products below or email Katie Logan to register as a couple or to donate a different amount via BACs.

"The course can revolutionise the way you relate to your children"

 "I was able to reflect on my past experiences and learn how best to respond to my child's needs to create a secure attachment. Having just begun my parenting journey 2 months ago, I am certain I will continue to refer to the principles of this programme for many years to come." 

"It has helped us navigate through toddler-hood together and strengthened our relationship considerably."
