Circle of Security Parenting

If you often find yourself pressed for time, worrying about your child, and questioning your parenting skills, please know that your feelings are completely valid, and you're certainly not alone. Balancing concerns about your child's behaviour with the deep desire for a strong connection and confidence in your role can feel overwhelming.

Imagine the comfort and understanding you could gain if you were able to decipher what your child is truly asking from you. The Circle of Security Parenting™ program is here to support you. It's built on decades of research focused on how to nurture and strengthen secure parent-child relationships.

 This program has the potential to offer a deeper understanding of your child or children, bringing a sense of assurance to your role as a loving and capable parent.

Circle of Security Parenting helps you to:

'The Circle of Security Parenting has helped me to be a more understanding and patient parent. I now feel I have a closer connection with my toddler and baby as I can better identify what they need and want from me. I also felt reassured by the things I already naturally do as a parent. The course has even helped me in my relationships with my partner, family, and friends. 

Kim’s years of experience working with children in her different roles is evident in the vast knowledge she brings to the course. I found Kim to be personable, professional, and very genuine and she created a safe space where I felt comfortable sharing my experiences as a parent. I enjoyed hearing from other parents and was comforted to know I’m not alone. Each day I find myself reflecting back on the course and using the tools and knowledge with my children, as well as in my everyday life. 

I really looked forward to the weekly sessions and was actually sad when they ended' - Hayley, Mum of Tyler - 6 months and Jack - 4 years. 

A little more about the Circle of Security Parenting program

💚The program is run over 8 weeks, broken down into 8 x 1.5-hour sessions.

💚Throughout the 8 weeks we'll explore different components for connecting with your child/ren, understanding their needs, meeting those needs, and ultimately being on the path to a secure attachment.

💚Though Circle of Security Parenting can be applied across the lifespan, the program is designed for parents of children 0-6yrs. It's helpful if at least one of your children is in this age range. 

Following are the focus for each session:

 Week 1: Welcome to Circle of Security Parenting

Week 2: Exploring Our Children’s Needs All The Way Around the Circle

Week 3: 'Being With' on the Circle

Week 4: 'Being With' Infants on the Circle

Week 5: The Path to Security

Week 6: Exploring Our Struggles

Week 7:  Rupture and Repair in Relationships

Week 8: Summary and Celebration 

Some benefits parents and carers I've worked with have seen are:

💚Awareness of how they're feeling when their child is upset and from here, the ability to choose how they respond rather than an automatic reaction.

💚Greater ability to support their child when in distress.

💚Realisations about the importance of exploration for children, even when they're a baby.

💚More moments of delighting in their children simply for being

💚A deeper appreciation for their ability and important role as their child's parent.

If this feels like something you're ready for, I would love to have you in my next group.

Package Options

When there are upcoming events they will be listed below. Alternatively, see below for information on creating your own group. 

In-person - $330 per person (within Newcastle and Lake Macquarie region)

Online - $310 per person.

 Groups are a maximum of 8. This is to create an optimal learning atmosphere, allowing participants to have plenty of time and feel seen, heard, and valued. 

In order to get the most out of the program, it's important that you are able to relax and focus, and this can be tricky to do with children there wanting to be with you. For this reason, I ask that you have your child/ren cared for in a separate room. The exception is babies under 6 months & older babies when they need a breastfeed. Don't want them to be hungry! 

Each Package includes 

💚8 x 1.5-hour sessions (sometimes we might go a little over or under)

💚 Caregiver workbook

Note: Groups will run when there are a minimum of 4. Where this isn't reached, a choice of either a refund or reschedule will be offered
