The Circle of Security (COS) is a relationship based early intervention program designed to enhance attachment security between parents/care givers and children.
Circle of Security Parenting Training© is a DVD parent education program offering the core components of the evidence-based and internationally acclaimed COS protocol.
Most parents could benefit greatly from a program such as this as it is non-blaming and simply focuses on the connection through the relationship and how this can be enhanced.
It is not a behavioural modification approach in caring for children.
It is an attachment based parent reflection class. Designed to engage parent’s wisdom and to help them follow their child’s needs.
The organisational framework for the parents is to be a ‘Secure Base’ or a ‘Safe Haven’ as represented in the COS diagram. This highlights the children’s needs of going out to explore or coming back in and depending on the secure attachment bond with the parent/care giver.
