Circle of Security Parenting Workshop (8-Week)
Highlights of 8-Week Workshop:
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 program is based on decades of research about how secure parent-child relationships can be supported and strengthened.
Using the COSP model developed by the Circle of Security originators, our trained Facilitators work with parents and care-givers to help them to:
- Understand their child’s emotional world by learning to read emotional needs
- Support their child’s ability to successfully manage emotions
- Enhance the development of their child’s self esteem
- Honor the innate wisdom and desire for their child to be secure
Your COSP Facilitators for this workshop are Nicole Donatto, DI, Pyramid Facilitator, and Dayna Webb, MA LPC. This dynamic team have combined experience in early childhood of more than 26 years.
Here are some founding principles that underlie the Circle of Security models of intervention:
- Attachment problems in infancy and early childhood increase the probability of psychopathology later on in life.
- Secure attachment relationships with caregivers are a protective factor for infants and preschoolers, setting the foundation for social competence and promoting effective functioning of the emotion regulation and stress response systems.
- The quality of the attachment relationship is amenable to change.
- Learning, including therapeutic change, occurs from within a secure base relationship.
- Lasting change in the attachment relationship comes from caregivers’ developing specific relationship capacities rather than learning techniques to manage behavior.
- All caregivers want what is best for their children.
Cost covers eight-week workshop and is per single caregiver or per couple. Scholarships may become available.
