At times, all parents will feel lost or even without a clue about what their child might need from them. The Circle of Security Parenting (TM) program is based on decades of research about how secure parent-child relationships can be supported and strengthened. This series will assist parents in making sense of what their child is really asking from them with learning objectives such as reading your child’s emotional needs, supporting emotional management and enhancing the development of your child’s self esteem.
