Circle of Security Registry
This is where it all starts! The Circle of Security Parenting group is a comprehensive 8-week discussion-based class developed from decades of Attachment Theory research. This class gives you the chance to talk about the joys and struggles of parenthood with a group of like-minded parents, while you learn research-based parenting advice designed to help you understand your children’s behavior as an expression of their needs.
You’ll learn about how to meet their needs in a way that strengthens your relationship. In doing so, you will create a roadmap to help them have healthier relationships with others, for the rest of their lives.

*This program works best as a shared language among adults who raise children together, so I offer discounts to any groups who register together! Whether you want to enroll with a group of parents in the same family or neighborhood, at the same school, or in a support group that spans the country, this work is so much easier when you have loving adults to support you as your support your children. Reach out and I’ll provide discount codes based on the number in your group.
Please reach out if you would like to schedule Circle of Security for yourself, your school parent community, your church, or your neighborhood center!
